carrot leaves pesto

Carrot leaves, did you ever imagine to cook with them? I did not actually. But that changes now that I have my own little vegetable garden. I really want to reduce food waste to a minimum. So today again a no-waste recipe!

Myrthe from the great website simplify your life inspired me with her carrot leaves pesto recipe. And I must say, a great way to turn waste into good food. I have modified the recipe a little, as I am a try addict of both basil and parmesan, but the base is the same: carrot leaves, roasted walnuts and olive oil.

Great to make your paste pesto, use as a spread on your bread or crackers or use in a pasta salad. The flavours are there, no worries!
