Looking for good recipes for garlic scapes
Our garlic scapes are in! They are a seasonal delicacy -- green scallion-like curls with a bright, garlicky flavor. We will probably give them out to CSAers in their basket this week. I'd love to give the CSAers a good recipe for them. Anyone have any good recipes for garlic scapes you could share? Post (or email) asap if you do. Thanks!
Posted by maryellen at June 27, 2005 09:52 AMI love garlic scapes and bought some at our Farmers Market Saturday. I love them roasted with potatoes, cut up and drizzled with olive oil (in oven at 375 for half an hour or so, depending on the size of the potatoes).
Since I cannot bear the idea of turning on the oven in our hot kitchen, I am going to try to roast them on our grill in a vegetable grill basket, also drizzled in oil, til they are brownish/crispy on the outside. Yum.
I don't know if this counts as a recipe so much as an idea and a ringing endorsement!
