Directions

  1. Place the greens into a pot of boiling water for a minute or so.
  2. Strain into a colander in the sink and douse with cold water.
  3. Put the greens into your food processor (or blender)
  4. Add the nuts and the cheese.
  5. Add enough olive oil to allow the machine to do it’s work.
  6. When the mixture forms a paste-like consistency, add the remaining olive oil.

Recipe Notes

I tend to use canning jars with good lids. Store in the fridge
