Springtime Pesto

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch carrot greens
  • 1 bunch radish greens
  • 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
  • 1 pinch red pepper flake
  • 1/4 preserved lemon. Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon would be fine
  • 1/4 cup almonds, chopped and gently toasted. I think pine nuts or hazelnuts would be just as good.
  • 1/2-1 cups olive oil, depending on desired texture
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Put everything but olive oil in a food processor and pulse until combined. I had to add the greens in stages for lack of room.
  2. Slowly add the olive oil until desired consistency is reached. Add salt to taste. I needed very little because of the anchovy paste and preserved lemon.
