@theknottygarden: Can’t get enough homegrown garlic? When you grow hardneck garlic, it’s two harvests in one! Here at the I take my garlic SERIOUSLY! Garlic scapes season is here—and they’re one of the best-kept secrets of the kitchen! These curly green shoots are the flowering stalks of hardneck garlic, and they’re only around for a short time each year. I grow only hardneck garlic (Russian Red to be precise)—it’s one of my specialties. Why? Because the flavor is unbeatable: rich, complex, and way more nuanced than what you’ll find at the grocery store. Plus, hardneck varieties thrive in cooler climates and reward you with these delicious scapes in early summer—a two-for-one harvest! If you’re wondering what to do with them, here are 6 easy ways to use garlic scapes in your kitchen: 1️⃣ Pesto – A punchy, garlicky twist on the classic. 2️⃣ Grilled – Just olive oil + salt, charred to perfection. 3️⃣ Stir-fried – Adds crisp texture and flavor to any dish. 4️⃣ Pickled – Bright, tangy, and great on everything. 5️⃣ Compound butter – Blend with butter and herbs for an amazing spread. 6️⃣ Sea salt - Put it on EVERYTHING! Garlic scapes are fleeting—catch them while you can! 🌿🧄 🌸Erin 🧄👀 Keep an eye on your feed. I’ll have lots more coming on garlic very soon!
