  18       oz           Fresh kale
   2       ea           Garlic cloves, minced
   1       t            Salt
     3/4   c            Olive oil

  Wash the kale well in cold water & pat it dry.  Cut
  away the ribs & stem of the kale, leaving only the
  leafy greens.  Combine all the ingredients in a food
  processor & process to form a thick paste. Will keep

  mellower & less robust flavour, blanch the kale in
  boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Serves 12 as an
  appetizer on crostini.
