Garlic Scape Pesto

Garlic scapes are found on hard neck garlic a month or so before the garlic is ready for harvest. If left on the plant, this part will form small bulbs which can be planted to grow new garlic. But most gardeners cut them away from the parent plant and they are delicious!

I have used them in a stir fry in place of regular garlic, in scrambled eggs, and in pesto. Here's the recipe for the garlic scape pesto I mad this week:

Garlic Scape Pesto

1 cup of chopped garlic scapes
1/2 cup almonds
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper

I doubled the recipe and put 2 T in each of the 15 patties you see here, on wax paper, ready for the freezer. When they were frozen, I cut the wax paper apart and put them into freezer bags for use throughout the year.

Dinner last night was Creole salmon, homemade noodles with 1 T of butter and 2 T pesto, and fresh asparagus. Delicious!
