So here are some of my attempts with this week's CSA:
Mustard Greens Pesto on Pasta with Shiitake Mushrooms and Smoked Mozzarella
You can put it on pasta or bread (It calls for sage.... which I have!)
Rhubarb Salsa
I love that you can put this on any meat
I will let you know how this goes!
FYI
12 ways to use garlic scapes
(via http://www.applepiepatispate.com/vegetable/garlic-scapes-12-ways/)
1. Use as you would asparagus. I bet you saw that coming.
2. Add to an omelet or a frittata
3. Makes salads and pasta a bit more interesting. It has “secret ingredient” potential.
I'm guessing you just dice it up and add?
4. Grill, roast, or broil with olive oil and salt.
5. Keep it raw and make some garlic scape pesto.
This sounds neat
6. Garlic scapes sautéed in butter are excellent with mashed or lightly browned diced potatoes for a quick side dish.
Easy enough to do
7. Creamy garlic scape soup seems right up my alley but I have yet to try it.
Ummm, no.
8. Pickles! This Korean recipe for pickled whole garlic will work beautifully with scapes.
Of course - we pickle anything
9. Puree with your favorite dips to give it a subtle garlicky punch and a cool shade of green.
10. Stir-fry with rice, noodles, vegetables, or meats.
11. Deep-fried with a light tempura-like batter maybe?
oooo, like green beans
12. Add finely chopped garlic scapes to bread dough.
This is EXTREMELY exciting. I'm going to try the pesto. (Though the picture in that link left something to be desired.)
ReplyDeleteA question about pickling. If I've already been pickling one vegetable, can I throw another vegetable into the same batch? Discuss.
