Garlic! Today’s harvest

06/16/2024

Garlic scapes are the curly part of the garlic plant. You want your harvest them before the flower opens up. Their flavor is milder than the garlic.

Garlic scapes are versatile and can be used in various dishes to add a mild garlic flavor. Here are some popular ways to use garlic scapes.

Blend garlic scapes with olive oil, nuts, cheese, and lemon juice to make a unique and flavorful pesto, chopped them and add to vegetable or meat stir-fries, soups, use them instead of leeks or green onions, slice thin and add raw to salads for a fresh and garlicky bite, grilled or roasted with olive oil, salt, and pepper (grill or roast them until tender), pickle garlic scapes for a tangy, garlicky snack, sauté, softened butter garlic-flavored spread. Yummy 😋

Ohh ohh we have a cicada riding in the car with us. How did it get in hubby’s leg? 😂 travel for free!! He noticed 20 minutes later. 😂 as long as it stays there and doesn’t decide to move to passenger side we are all good. We drove to a suburb that has none. Hopefully she grows a family there. Your welcome Deerfield, Illinois!!
