I usually try to use all the parts of the veggies that I buy in the market place. Here in Barcelona, vegetable sellers use to chop the green part of the red radish or the beetroot, but I always ask them to leave the greens for me and sometimes they treat me with a bonus bunch of greens left behind by other customers.
Today I will show you what you can make out of the greens of a radish bunch: a yummy green pesto for your pasta. Easy and quickly to prepare and enjoy.
