Vegetable Top Pesto

Thoroughly wash and dry the vegetable tops (carrot or parsley) and remove tough stems. Roughly chop the leaves.

You can briefly toast the nuts (walnuts or pine nuts) in a dry pan for a more intense flavor. Peel the garlic.

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.
