Thanks to CSA member Sarah for sharing a picture of the pesto she made with scapes and basil from her weekly box of veggies.
Garlic Scapes are the flower stalk of hardneck varieties of garlic. The flower stalk is snipped off (harvested) to allow the garlic plant to direct energy into making a nice large garlic bulb. The scapes are edible and can be used in a variety of ways.
Here at Dancing Hen Farm we use them in most dishes this time of year, as we would garlic bulbs a bit later in the season. Dice them small and add them to stir frys or even raw to salads. Or make pesto!!
