What to Do with Radish Greens? Pesto!

I came across this recipe in May and saved it until I knew we'd get radishes in our CSA share.  I've always thrown away the leaves, and it has occurred to me more than once that it's very wasteful to do so.  Imagine my happiness when I came across a radish leaf pesto dish!  I trust the quality of Clotilde's recipes, so I expect this will be a winner. If you make it, please let us know how you liked it.

Lavender

Some of you may be wondering what to do with your lavender share. Of course, enjoying the flowers in your home for as long as they may survive in a vase is an option but you can also dry the flowers and use them in recipes. Lavender is traditionally used in the mix of herbs called Herbs de Provence. If you have dried any of your oregano from last week, that is also present in the recipe below. Additionally, if you have the herb share, here is a use for the sage you received last week. The rest should be available at your local grocery store or most green markets.

For all those eggs...
