The color will turn a vibrant green. Immediately remove and place in ice water. This process is referred to as 'shocking' and effectively halts the cooking process, maintaining the vibrant green color. Once cool enough to handle, chop the greens to ensure they will blend without wrapping the blade.
- Combine all ingredients into a blender, and utilizing the plunger (if your blender didn't come with one, just stop periodically and scrape the sides down and stir the mixture a bit) blend to a fine paste. Store with plastic wrap pressed to the surface, or float olive oil on top to deter oxidation which will brown your spread.
