Scape Pesto With Artichokes Recipes

I was recently at the farmer's market and came across some onion scapes. I have never cooked with them before so I did a little research on the internet and found that pesto is a common use of garlic scapes, so why not onion scapes. They taste like the green parts of a green onion. RZ does not recognize onion scapes in the recipe posting process, so I have substituted garlic scapes; either can be used.

Garlic scapes are the curly stems from hard-necked garlic plants. They have a milder flavor than the garlic bulbs. We enjoyed this pesto spread on Italian bread, but it would probably be good over pasta as well. You can substitute asiago cheese for the parmesan. I don't really know how many servings this makes, but I had to guess since I couldn't submit the recipe without filling in the serving amount. I've heard that it freezes well, but we didn't have any left to freeze!

Garlic scapes, the curled flower from the top of a garlic plant, are abundant at farmers markets and CSAs (community supported agriculture shares) in spring and make an easy, fragrant pesto that can be spread on bread or crackers, put on pasta, used with fish, and as a substitute for garlic, onion, or scallions! Add to sandwiches, pasta, lamb, and fish dishes. Tastes great mixed with mayo.

I was surprised to find several garlic scape pesto recipes posted on this site. Here's another version for you. Quality ingredients [especiallly] good quality freshly grated cheese is crucial for best flavor in this recipe. Walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts can replace those expensive pine nuts.
