If you’re wondering how to use the wonderful late spring surprise of garlic scapes in today’s box, you’ll find that these long curling stalks are soft and juicy, and just right for adding garlic flavor without overwhelming a dish. Cut them into thin slices and add them to anything that could use a little garlic but without the drama. Chop them up and add them to eggs or stir them while you’re cooking rice or bulgur. Add chopped scapes to cream cheese, stir in a little sour cream, and you’ve got the CSA version of French onion dip.
If you want a recipe, here’s one for Garlic Scape Pesto from the Washington Post.
