We have to admit, we just recently discovered that you can actually eat all parts of carrots, kohlrabi, or cauliflower. The stem. The leaves. You just need to know how. A little inspiration is this super easy and delicious pesto recipe made from cauliflower waste.
The ingredients:
- Leaves and stem of a cauliflower
- 4 handfuls arugula
- 2tbsp tomato puree
- 2 handfuls chopped walnuts
- 4tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt
- Pepper
How it’s done:
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and puree for about 5 minutes (possibly longer) until it has a creamy texture. Done. You can fill the pesto into preserving jars and keep them in the refrigerator – it should be good for about a week (if it lasts that long).

And if you are interested to find out what else you can cook with stems and stalks: We can suggest the cookbook “The Zero-Waste kitchen” by Charmaine Yabsley. Not new but quite recommendable.
