Garlic Scapes…..oh my!
They are the greens below that look like a cross between a green bean and a scallion. I chopped the cabbage that came this week (Napa I think) to make some cole slaw- I decided to throw in the garlic scapes- they didn’t smell much like garlic so I thought it might just add a touch of flavor. They were surprisingly strong. Very strong. Very, very very strong. I sweetened the slaw with some apple and a sprinkle of sugar but I don’t think it cut the garlic enough. Alec took a bite and spit it directly out and started yelling that his mouth was on fire. Whoops.
Apparently when it comes to garlic scapes- a little can go a long way. Hours later and the flavor lingers.
No vampires will be visiting us in the near future.
Or is that a myth?
