Grilled Garlic Scapes – Photo fromHungryAgain.net
While grilling for the holiday or as a key heat wave strategy, put some garlic scapes on as well. They will be fantastic with burgers, sausages, ribs…really anything. You can have them as a side dish or then chop them up to go on your burger or into your salad.
Ingredients
Olive Oil or Lard
Garlic Scapes
Salt & Pepper
Lemon Juice (optional)
chopped herbs (optional)
Mix lard or olive oil with salt & pepper & toss with scapes until well coated (you may need to rub them up a bit) then grill over a hot fire until tender and slightly browned. Season with a little salt and lemon juice to taste once off the grill. Some chopped herbs sprinkled on are nice as well.
Even raw, garlic scapes are mellower than the cloves of garlic, and when grilled they mellow even further.
