Garlic Scapes

             

              The flowering bud of a garlic plant, Garlic Scapes are a delicious 

              treat in the early season and snipping them helps direct the plants 

              energy back into making big delicious bulbs!  Scapes retain all of the
              wonderful flavor profile of garlic, making them a great addition to
              salads, side dishes, seasoning mixes and more. Below are some
              ideas on using scapes. 

Garlic Scapes in Side Dishes

Use scapes in all your side dishes to add flavor and texture. Chop into small pieces and add to your saute pan with oil or butter and cook over medium heat for a few minutes until they soften. A great way to use them is to add them to a pan of sauteed greens with a bit of Parmesan cheese. 

Raw Garlic Scapes

Use in a salad, on a sandwich or in a dip!  Make sure to chop them fine, so they are not stringy when you eat them. They add a nice crunch and garlic based flavor! 

Garlic Scape Pesto

Chop garlic scapes and add them to a food processor (this helps them chop easier without stringing in the processor). Add Parmesan Cheese, Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper and your favorite Nut (optional).  

We suggest a cup of scapes, 1/4 cup of parm cheese and olive oil, a sprinkle of salt, pepper and 1 tbsp. of nuts. 

Use in place of pesto in any recipe !
