Notes

I like to put the chickpeas in the kale mixture because it helps to bulk it up and add some filling power to the potato skins. This would still work just fine without the chickpeas – it would just be a thinner kale pesto and it wouldn’t fill the skins as much.

If you don’t have any fresh herbs, don’t sweat it. I make versions of this kale pesto sauce stuff all the time and it works beautifully with fresh herbs like basil, but it can also hold its own in the flavor department without the herbs.
