Carrot Top Pesto

Ingredients:

• 1/2 Cup loosely packed carrot greens removed from the stalk

• 1 cup tightly packed fresh basil

• 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts

• 1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

• 1 to 2 tbsps olive oil

• 2 cloves fresh minced garlic ( or 5 or 6 cloves )

• 1/4 Cup chopped red onion

• 1/2 lemon juiced

• Sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Remove carrot leaves from the main stalk and add all ingredients to your blender or food processor and blend until you get your pesto to its desired consistency. Start with 1 tbsp of olive oil and if the consistency is to thick for you then add more olive oil until you reach the consistency you like.

2. Serve over a bed of your favorite pasta and use the leftovers on sandwiches, eggs, meat marinade, and really anything you can possibly think of!
