IN YOUR KITCHEN: sauteed garlic scapes
From Lauren:
We LOVE garlic scapes! We usually just lightly stir fry them and eat ‘em all up. Maybe I’ll try growing my own now we have a garden, because usually we can’t get enough before they sell out around here.

Several recipes if you click through. The chicken recipe was recommended by CSA member Sherry, who notes that slicing the chicken breast in half makes it easier.

IN YOUR KITCHEN: smoked scapes, potatoes, and pork
Jennifer writes:
Love garlic scapes. A new “recipe” I tried at our Memorial Day cookout: chopped some Yukon Gold potatoes, onion, and scapes, tossed in olive oil and salt/pepper, then wrapped them in foil and put them in the smoker along with the pulled pork. Amazing!

RECIPES: lots of ideas for garlic scapes →
From our own blog!
Garlic scapes have a pretty strong garlic flavor and can be used in any recipe that calls for garlic. Chop or mince them and throw them in a skillet with some olive oil or butter. Cook until they begin to soften, and then add more vegetables and cook until the vegetables are tender — perhaps diced beets or roughly chopped chard from this week’s share??
Scapes are delicious...

RECIPE: Chard, Onion, and Gruyère Panade from... →
This one takes a little while to bake up, but the ingredients and steps are simple as can be. One of the best examples we know of the whole being greater than the sum of its humble parts — in this case: chard, bread, onions, garlic, bread, cheese, broth, salt, water. SO GOOD.
