Garlic scapes

Our garlic scapes are in! They are a seasonal delicacy - green, scallion like curls with a bright, garlicky flavor. They are the top of the garlic plant. Here are a few ideas for them:

* I love scapes pureed with olive oil in the blender or food processor. I make it into a thick paste and put it in the fridge. I then thin the paste with olive oil and use it as a dipping sauce for crusty bread, like the way they do at fancy restauraunts. Yummy. Peter uses the paste as a salad dressing base, adding more oil and vinegar. You could add cheese and nuts for a yummy pesto. The paste would freeze well, too.

* Chopped fine and sprinkled in green or pasta or potato salad.

* 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).

* Cut about ½ to an inch long and sauteed, as a side dish.

* Brushed with oil and grilled in a veggie basket till crispy.
