One of the things I love about participating in Purple Dragon is that every once in a while, I get to try something new - and this week it is GARLIC SCRAPES. This is the green plant that grows out of the top of the garlic. Normally when you purchase a head of garlic what you are actually getting is a bulb. Have you ever put garlic in a basket and within a few days a green shoot comes out of the bulb? That is a garlic scrape.
SO...now that you know what they are - what do we do with them?
* Use them in pesto instead of basil and toss with pasta
* Chop them and use in a stir fry instead of green onions
* Blanche them and toss with a light vinegarette for a summer salad/side
* Add to gazpacho - it give a great light garlicy flavor
* Lightly grill and serve as you would asparagus
