CARROT TOP PESTO! Should be on your to do list this sunny week. Goes with exactly everything and is a perfect recipe to reduce waste!

Ingredients

100g carrot top leaves, stalks removed 

50g flat leaf parsley, stalks removed

2 garlic cloves

100ml toasted pumpkin seeds 

70g grated pecorino or parmesan 

150-200ml olive oil 

Juice and zest of one lemon 

Method

Start by blitzing the pumpkin seeds, add all ingredients to a food processor except the lemon juice and olive oil, mix until a smooth ish paste. Drizzle in the olive oil, finish with lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Keep it for a few days in the fridge in an airtight container. Taste before every use as you might need to pimp it with some more lemon/salt.
