About the Recipe
Carrot tops are probably something you throw away without much thought, but did you know the average UK family throws away £730 worth of food every year? Instead of throwing these bits away, you can use them to make a delicious pesto. I’ve used leftover broccoli stalks, beetroot stalks and leaves, herbs, and even spinach to make delicious pesto. Save some money and turn these parts into something amazing!
Ingredients
150g carrot tops
50g parmesan, finely grated
1 garlic clove, finely chopped

50g nuts, toasted
150ml olive oil

Blend your carrot stalks, parmesan, garlic, chilli, lemon, nuts, and oil into a lovely pesto like consistency
