Wait, don’t throw out those carrot tops! Instead make an easy pesto sauce to accompany Bijouxs’crunchy-salty-sweet Maple Miso Carrots – the newest little jewel recipe.

Maple-Miso Carrots, from my upcoming “From the Garden” cookbook, already has a new iteration – Maple Miso Carrots with Carrot-Top Pesto.

As you know, I’m now back in Los Angeles, my family’s hometown for 3 generations. I’m back happily cooking with organic produce and foods. I receive a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box, which as I talked about in my last post, which has prompted me to be mindful about cooking seasonal and using all parts of the produce I receive. These lovely rainbow carrots arrived in my delivery.

My favorite Maple-Miso Carrots got even better with addition of the salty-crunch of Carrot Top Pesto. Not difficult to prepare and makes perfect sense. The recipe is basically the same as my Maple-Miso Carrots, with the addition of pesto, which always makes things better! Roasting vegetables brings out the carrot’s sweetness and the miso is perfect salty counterpoint.

I am embracing a new start, one that focuses on the simple art of cooking. Nothing here at Bijouxs Little Kitchen Jewels is currently labor or ingredient intensive.

Bijouxs is for the home cook. I like to keep things simple and accesible to almost any cook of any skill level. Cost is also a factor, I’m using organic, but just use the freshest ingedients you can afford. The main thing is get in the kitchen and see how joyful it is to create your own meals.
