Garlic Scape
Kennie loves his garlic… as much as Laddie loves his bones…. and like Laddie and his bones, Kennie has garlic buried in every corner.. Lucky for him, I love garlic too..
My favorite part is the tender Scape that grows from the Garlic plant. To get a bigger bulb beneath the soil, the Scapes must be cut to push the growth back into the bulb, instead of allowing the plant to put effort towards developing a flower.
As soon as it curls twice, cut it a centimeter or two below the curl. Two weeks later when the stalk starts to turn brown your garlic bulbs are ready to harvest.
Garlic Scapes can be used in place of garlic in almost every recipe. I’ve made garlic Scape Pesto, hummus, bread, stock, jam and now pickles.
