Green Garlic and Garlic Scapes

May 12th, 2010

Everyone knows about Garlic but few realize you can eat it immature.  Green Garlic and Garlic Scapes can not be found in the grocery store.  They have a more mild garlic taste than the mature garlic and should be stored unwashed in a paper bag in your refrigerator.

Green garlic or young garlic should be cut lengthwise and rinsed in between the layers where sand and soil can slip in.  Then use as you would garlic cloves.  Use finely chopped green garlic or garlic scapes in stir fry, sauces, or pasta dishes.  Try it raw in tuna salad or sauteed in pasta salad and salad dressings.

Today you received just enough to taste but more is on the way!
