I saw a recipe for carrot tops pesto on Instagram and I thought it was a genius idea and something that I have never really considered before.
This is my version of it

Steps

1

Take the carrot top and wash them throughly. Add them into a mixer together with the nuts, the parmesan and the basil. Don’t add the oil yet because the mixing action can alter the flavour.
2

Mix everything together until you get a smooth-ish mixture. Add a tiny little bit of water if you need to.
3

Put it in a jar together mixing in the oil until it covers the pesto mixture.
