If you’re a city girl, like me, you probably did not know that carrot tops are actually edible and taste a lot like parsley!

Our “All You Can Eat” CSA right now contains all kinds of different greens, including quite a lot of carrot tops that I have had to get creative with. Here is a delicious way to use up all those greens.

Ingredients

a bunch of carrots with their tops on
a few fresh mint leaves (can be replaced with another herb, to taste), chopped up
small handful raisins
1-2 green onions or green garlic, to taste, also copped up
1 dash olive oil
1 dash lemon juice
1 pinch salt

Directions

1. Coarsely chop (pulse) the carrots in the food processor until they have a couscous texture. Put aside in a bowl.
2. Finely chop the carrot tops with a knife, like you would do with parsley.
3. Remove the hard stems if there are any.
4. Add to bowl with the carrot “couscous”, and add raisins and chopped mint leaves and onion/garlic.
5. Season to taste with lemon juice, olive oil and salt.Enjoy!
