Beetroot Leaf Pesto

In my veggie box delivery, the beetroots came attached with their beautiful leaves and I just couldn’t let them go to waste.

So I’ve been experimenting with a few ideas one of which was this pesto.

During the first stages of covid lockdown, I used only the ingredients that I had available to me which made me get so much more creative.

It really does taste so good and what a vibrant colour just from the leaves themselves.
