CARROT TOP PESTO



Carrot Top Pesto image

A simple, six ingredient pesto recipe made using carrot tops! A great way to incorporate a new type of green, as well as reduce food waste using all parts of the carrot.

Provided by Snacking in Sneakers

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch carrot tops
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, zest and juice ((zest first - it's easier than trying to zest after squeezing it!))
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1/3 to 1/2 cup olive oil
(optional) salt to taste

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to a food processor, starting with the lesser amount of olive oil. Pulse a few times until well combined. Add additional olive oil as needed to reach desired pesto texture.
  • Taste pesto - if desired, add salt. I usually season the foods I'm adding it to first (like baked chicken or potatoes) but feel free to add a little salt to the pesto if needed.
  • Serve pesto over pasta, baked chicken, potatoes, or whatever your heart desires!

CARROT TOP PESTO



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.

Categories     Sauces

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.

  • To blanch the carrot tops: remove thick stem pieces. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Prepare a large bowl with ice cubes and cold water in it. Once boiling, add the carrot tops to the pot. Stir occasionally, cooking for about 3 minutes or until bright green and tender. Immediately remove from the pot, drain the hot water, and add the carrot tops to the ice cube bowl to stop the cooking process.
  • Drain the carrot tops, wring out excess liquid, and spread them on a plate to dry while you do the remaining recipe prep.
  • Add all of the ingredients from garlic through walnuts (if using) to the food processor. Blend until a chunky paste forms with small bits of carrot tops. Depending on the size of your food processor, you may need to stop frequently to scrape down the sides. Add the olive oil a tablespoon at a time until combined. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice if desired.
  • To use as a pasta sauce, cook your pasta in salted water according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, drain the pasta, and return it to the pot. Add the reserved cooking water and carrot top pesto, stir to combine, and cook over low heat until warmed. Serve right away.
