Carrot Top Pesto image

Originally from http://www.eatingfromthegroundup.com/2014/10/carrot-top-pesto/ but I have a nice bunch of carrot greens that need to be used up before the frost so I'm putting this here.

Time 5m

Yield 1/2 cup, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups lightly packed cleaned dried, and roughly chopped carrot greens (large stems removed beforehand)
1 large garlic clove, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2-3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine the greens and garlic in the bowl of a food processor fit with the chopping blade. (The smaller the food processor the better here, as the greens might escape the blade in a large machine.) Pulse until the the greens are finely chopped.
  • Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Process until you have a thick pesto, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a silicon spatula if you need to. Taste, and add more salt if needed.
