What are they? How are they different from scapes? What can you make with them?
A bunch of them in our CSA share on Tuesday. I actually swapped my popcorn for a second bunch of garlic greens. It is sometimes called spring garlic. I intend to fully embrace springtime, even if they are calling for snow flurries this weekend.
I have rockfish sitting on a bed of them, in the oven right now. I added a few of them, chopped, to the basmati rice in my rice cooker. I made a quartet of meatloaves to use one this weekend and freeze the rest. Some of them ended up in there.
As for the rest, there will be pesto. I will use my scape recipe.
I had considered using some of them to sauté the greens we got in our basket, but they just smell so good. They have to become pesto.
Anyone seen ramps in the markets yet? Then, I will know that spring has arrived in central Maryland.
