Use up herb and vegetable leftovers for delicious sauces that can make many meals more interesting.
Here's an example: This fennel frond "pesto" I made using the tops of four bulbs of fennel I'd bought. The bulbs themselves ended up in a rich bean stew. The fronds went back in the fridge. In my old life I would have found them there a week later, wilted and yellowing. But in this new existence I actually managed to do something with them before they went bad.
It was bright and herbaceous and salty, and it was great spooned over the fennel and bean stew I made. It also made a really good pasta sauce, and was delicious swirled into fresh ricotta cheese as a snack. It was even better as a dressing for a salad of roasted carrots, fresh parsley, and sliced red onions. I didn't start out with a plan for how to use it, but it's been easy to find ways.
"Pesto" is in quotes here because not every herb purée is a pesto, just like not every soup is chicken noodle. But as a shorthand, it's probably the most widely understood way to talk about puréed, oil-based herb sauces.When it comes to choosing herbs to turn into pesto, of course there are the obvious options like basil, parsley, and cilantro, but don't stop there.
Alternatively, you could go all in on the bolder greens, but then be sure add less of the sauce to your food, or cut it another way .
