Carrot-Top Pesto

Chef Bombay joined us in the Candelaria Design Showroom Kitchen for one of our virtual cooking classes this April and showed us how to make a grilled shrimp and chicken pasta with roasted tomatoes and his delicious and nutritious carrot-top pesto!

Pesto Instructions:

  • In a dry pan (no oil) over low-medium heat, roast the pine nuts. Remove and cool.

  • Cut off the carrot tops and wash the leaves. Pat dry and add in the carrot tops and all the remaining ingredients to the blender except for the oil.

  • Blend in a food processor until completely broken down.

  • Add in olive oil gradually while blending until you get a slightly emulsified sauce. Add more oil or water if needed.
