I bought my first garlic scapes--the stalks and unopened flowers of garlic--at the farmers market. The farmer told me I could put them in water and they would bloom.But I'm going to make pesto.
Garlic Scape Pesto
Put your soccer cleats on, and jump up and down on:
1 bunch (6-10) garlic scapes, finely chopped
1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/3 cup nuts (pine nuts, walnuts)
1/3 cup olive oil
Kirkian face / Garlic monocle!
ReplyDeleteA freak impulse leads me to digress:
Pesto is a v. satisfying word;
I wish it was my name.
In the 90's, the local kiddie soccer league named all the teams after cheeses;
we were Parma.
para-verse: last night, had pesto pasta (oh, that one is really satisfying to say!)
. . . Happy free-association day!
*not actually free-association day.
The internets tell me it is
"Stay Out Of The Sun Day and Compliment Your Mirror Day"
I know just what to say:
LAME MIRROR.
I love pesto. Would be interesting to see how they bloom though.
ReplyDeleteOne expects them to accompany goat cheese...
