The scapes keep well in the refrigerator for up to a month. Just put them into a paper bag and fold the top down to keep them from drying out. Simply wash them and pat dry with a paper towel and cut off 1/2 inch from the cut end. They can be used in stir fry, sautéed like green beans, steamed with lemon as a side dish or chopped into any salsa or dip.
Garlic scapes have a lovely, mild garlic flavor that are very versatile in the kitchen. We have been including them in our CSA for years and our members highly enjoy this delicacy traditionally used in Asian and European recipes. Due to their seasonality ~ availability is limited! Garlic scapes freeze so well, it’s easy to use them throughout the year. Scapes make an excellent pesto!
Garlic scapes are the flower stalk that grows out of the center of the garlic plant. The scape is snapped off to direct the energy in the plant to develop a healthier and larger bulb which will be harvested in July.
