Carrot top pesto

Carrot top pesto

Ingredients

Bunch of carrot tops and stalks

Directions

Organic carrots locally grown taste like a carrot! But did you know you can make a simple pesto using the leafy tops?

Make sure you wash and remove any dirt from your carrot tops and add the following to a food processor.

🥕 A bunch of Carrot tops (and stalks) 🥕 50G of sunflower seeds (you can also use cashew nuts, pine nuts or pumpkin seeds, whatever you have in the cupboard) 🥕 1 garlic clove crushed 🥕 3 TBSP olive oil 🥕 1 organic lemon juiced 🥕 Pinch of salt

Blitz in a food processor and tweak, salt, lemon and garlic to taste. I will be stirring pesto through my pasta tonight. As it makes more than I need, I freeze it in ice cube trays and chuck it in mid week meals.

Enjoy!

I can definitely taste the difference with the vegetables Andrea sources. The taste is so fresh.
