NTR: Garlic scapes?

[Kay Bixler]

Need Tasty Recipe. Besides pesto, what do you all do with garlic scapes? I have ton and want to use them up.

Best,
Kay

I've put them into homemade tortillas. Also risotto (not so different from pesto, perhaps).

 

[mlawton]

Roast until crisp, salt and eat. Extra credit if you can stop eating before they are gone.

Garlic scapes, or something very much like them (if only I could read Korean) are a big ingredient in Asian cooking. You put them in with pork and shrimps etc. to make your own pot stickers. I'm sure there are hundreds or thousands of uses if you "go Asian"

I put them under a chicken and then roast. Yum.

 

[SFJoe]

Toss w/ EVOO, S&P, chiles, grill.

Roast w/ taters and porcini.

On pizzas w/ matsutake.

"nira manju" is one of the better uses imo.

note: "meatball" is an obviously bad translation. try it with shrimp and you will go to heaven.

Pretty much what I was trying to say above...

I believe garlic chives are a different animal from garlic scapes. There is a third item, called garlic sprouts, as well.

 

[Kay Bixler]

Mlawton, had the oven going last night and roasted up a batch--they were great! Thanks. Will try a few of the other suggestions with the remaining 2 tons.

Best,
Kay

Kay, do you store and eat all the garlic? Sounds like a lot.

 

[Kay Bixler]

Okay, maybe I slightly overestimated the contents of my bushel bin. We grow enough for ourselves, seed for next year and some to sell.

Shallots too. If anybody is in the market for some choice, pesticide, herbicide and fungicide free golden shallots drop me a line. Your vinaigrette will thank you.

On the other hand, I bet it has been a LONG time since Kay has seen any vampires.

What has this to do with vampires?

Yeah, like they care.

I'm skeptical as to the existence of the undead, zombies, agrosexuals, you know, all that stuff.

But no one ever produced arguments in their favor like the ontological argument or the argument from design so, like, what's even the point of being skeptical? Shooting fish in a barrel.

 

[Kay Bixler]

Wait, are we talking about agrosexuals?

I don't know. Are there ontological arguments in favor of their existence? Isn't it sort of an empirical question?
