I have quite a bunch of garlic scapes that I gleaned from my garden yesterday. Garlic scapes are the gracefully curling tops of a garlic plant with a small white bulb at the tip. Although I have never tried them, I am told they have a mild and delicious garlicky flavor. Tomorrow I plan to change the "never tried" to "have tried" by making and sampling Blue cheese dressing (made with garlic scapes as an onion substitute) and garlic scape pesto.The remaining scapes will be pickled (with basil leaves vinegar and chili flakes). I will, of course, post recipes and pics.
Enjoy your weekend!
