If you buy bunched carrots or if you grow your own don't throw out the fresh green leaves. They can be used to make a tasty crunchy topping or for adding to soup or casseroles.

Steps:

  1. Cut the top feathery parts of the leaves off the tougher lower stalks and discard stalks. Wash the leaves well and drain.
  2. Chop the leaves as finely as you can. You can also use these in soups and casseroles for extra nutrition and flavour.
