Kelp Pesto

I have too much kale and kelp and basil - which means it’s pesto time….For this recipe, you can add in additionally kale or arugula to give it a peppery boost or just make sure your greens are getting eaten. Use the pest in past dishes, spread on crust bread, or on a pizza. This recipe is an adaptation from the lovely farmers at Spartan Sea Farm.
