Ingredients

  • carrot green organic
  • 2 cloves of garlic organic
  • 1 tsp salt organic
  • 40 g hazelnuts organic
  • 50-90 ml olive oil organic
  • 1-2 tbsp yeast flakes organic

Instructions

  • Remove the green, wash under running water, let it drip off or spin it dry with a salad spinner. Then chop coarsely.
  • Peel and press the garlic cloves.
  • Put all ingredients up to and including hazelnuts into a blender or food processor. Add 50ml olive oil and crush into a pesto. Depending on the mixer/food processor, you will need more olive oil so that the pesto can be processed evenly.
  • If you use up the pesto immediately you can add the yeast flakes immediately, otherwise I would wait until serving with it.
  • Fill the pesto into a sealable glass and cover with olive oil. Store in the fridge and use within 3-4 days.
