Carrots with tops

The bunching carrot, harvested young, is a concentrate of natural sugars (fructose and glucose) and beta-carotene. To sublimate its texture without washing it out, sous-vide cooking at 85°C with a knob of butter gelatinizes its plant pectins while maintaining a perfect crunch to the bite. Its tops, often discarded, have astonishing aromatic richness: blanched for a few seconds to destroy oxidative enzymes, they transform into a vibrant, earthy emerald green pesto.
