PESTO

1 large bunch of carrot or parsley tops
50 g walnuts or pine nuts
1 clove of garlic
50 g grated Parmesan
Pinch of salt
Pinch of ground black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

1
Thoroughly wash and dry the vegetable tops (carrot or parsley) and remove tough stems. Roughly chop the leaves.
2
You can briefly toast the nuts (walnuts or pine nuts) in a dry pan for a more intense flavor. Peel the garlic.
3
Place all ingredients (tops, nuts, garlic, Parmesan) into a blender or mortar. Gradually add olive oil and blend or crush until the desired paste consistency is achieved.
4
Season the finished pesto with salt and pepper. If it's too thick, add a little more oil. Serve with pasta or on a baguette.
