time for garlic scapes!

We are making garlic scape pesto this afternoon! you actually cut the scapes ( flowering stalks) to keep the bulbs growing....but gee, this is a tasty addition to the garlic menu!


Here's the recipe

Garlic Scape Pesto
Ingredients:
1 cup garlic scapes (about 8 or 9 scapes), top flowery part removed, cut into ¼-inch slices
1/3 cup pine nuts
¾ cup olive oil
¼-1/2 cup grated parmigiano
½ teaspoon salt
black pepper to taste

start with oil and scapes; as these get blended, add in nuts, slat and pepper and grated parmesan cheese to taste. a serving on pasta is about 2 tablespoons.
