something new

Last year, I heard about garlic scapes. What are garlic scapes? Why, they are the flowers that would form on the garlic plants, but they are removed (before they flower) so that the bulbs get larger. In previous years, I just pitched them, but I heard they are edible so I tried them in a few recipes this year. For Sunday brunch, I made a garlic scape frittata and it was delicious. Today, I made garlic scape pesto. It was so garlicky, and so good. We’ll call this one a winner.
