Carrot Top Pesto
Greens in any form is just so healthy no matter what type they are. Carrot greens are edible, super healthy too. If in case you come across fresh carrots with tops good & intact, don't hesitate and get a bunch. I got mine from @thefreshlings and they are just so wonderful!!
I had to make my Pesto with these brilliant lesser known greens in Chennai and made the Pesto I did!
This Pesto is spicy with deseeded Jalapeño, garlic and crushed pepper and the addition of Pistachios to a Pesto like this is the best idea, if you ask me. I also use my string chopper to make the Pesto always.. the texture is nicer and not a like blended paste.
Really goes well with roasted potatoes, Cauliflower, even bread omelet, street style but spread this posh Pesto on the bread slices before addition to the egg mixture pan. So good...
