Garlic Scapes are almost like a little garden secret.
Often times we over look parts of plants that are just as important and delicious. Garlic scales are a perfect example, they can be used in any recipe just as you would a garlic bulb. They have a slightly less intense taste, making them better for people who cannot handle a strong garlic flavor.
I’m going to be enjoying my garlic scapes as a steak sauce replacement. Made into a pesto and served on top of a venison back strap!
