Re: Garlic shoots
Hi MG
my farmer calls them garlic scapes...he usually has them for a couple weeks around this time of year....
I usually cook them simply...cut into 2-3 inch pieces,sauteed in some olive oil and butter, salt and pepper and served as a side...
sometimes I'll saute as above and then add a bunch of beaten eggs and make a frittata....a little grated cheese on top and then under the broiler

Re: Garlic shoots
