Harvesting and Cooking with Garlic Scapes

A quick and tidy little piece from Heavy Petal on those weird, curly-cue things growing out of your garlic plant. They’re scapes! Ann actually pointed these out to me a few weeks ago in the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden, as they make for good eating.

Stir-fried, steamed, or run through the food processor, snagging those scapes can make your garlic plant more than a one-trick pony. —MN
