Carrot Top Pesto
I try to use everything out of the garden, including the tops of root veggies. Carrot tops make especially good pesto, or you could substitute radish or beet greens, or use all basil or other herbs. You can also use just about any nut instead of the sunflower seeds, just remember that if you use a salted nut, adjust the salt accordingly.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place greens, basil, seeds, garlic, salt, and lemon juice in a food processor/chopper or blender.
- 2
Process, gradually adding the olive oil, until the components are chopped fine and blended.

Toss, a tablespoon at a time, with hot cooked pasta. Add parmesan cheese, if desired.

Store any leftover pesto in the refrigerator. It will keep for a couple of weeks. Since the cheese is added later, you can also freeze it.

I wanted to make basil pesto using fresh aromatic basil direct from a farmer.Dry-roasting nuts gives extra flavour. You can divide it up into small portions and store in the freezer. If you store in the fridge for a while, keep only portions you will use. Flatten the surface and pour the olive oil on it to avoid any discolouring.If you leave some nuts chunks when you use the food processor, you can also enjoy the nutty texture. Recipe by KiwieKiwie
