Green Carrot Top Sauce

Ingredients

1/2 cup packed green carrot tops

2 tbsp cilantro

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated or crushed

1/2 tsp fresh garlic, minced or crushed

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp cumin-coriander seeds, ground

1/2 tsp roasted cumin seeds, ground

1/2 tsp sweet paprika

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/8 tsp black pepper, ground

Directions

1. Discard any really thick stems from the green carrot tops. Then, finely chop the green carrot tops and cilantro.

2. Add all the ingredients, including the finely chopped greens, to a glass jar. Stir to mix, then cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, up to three days. I think it tastes best if it sits in the fridge at least overnight- it allows the flavors to mellow and meld together.

3. Enjoy with roasted vegetables, soups / stews, chips, sandwiches, etc.
