Garlic Scape Pesto<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
We tried a few different recipes and finally made up our own. It has lots of scapes and lots of cheese.\r\nDelicious on pasta, added to dips, and as a sandwich spread \u2014 especially grilled cheese and quesadillas.<\/div>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>
  • 20<\/span> garlic scapes, chopped<\/span><\/li>
  • 3\/4<\/span> cup<\/span> parmesan cheese, freshly grated<\/span><\/li>
  • 1\/2<\/span> cup<\/span> asiago cheese, freshly grated<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> tbsp<\/span> fresh lemon juice<\/span><\/li>
  • 1\/3<\/span> cup<\/span> pine nuts – walnuts work just as good<\/span><\/li>
  • 1\/2 to 1<\/span> cup<\/span> extra-virgin olive oil<\/span><\/li>
  • cracked black pepper and salt to tast<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Instructions<\/h3>
    • Remove the flower heads and any woody bottoms. Chop garlic scapes.<\/div>
      \"Where<\/div> <\/li>
    • Place the garlic scapes, Parmesan cheese, Asiago cheese, lemon juice, and pine nuts in the bowl of a food processor.<\/div><\/li>
    • Drizzle 1\/4 cup olive oil over the mixture.<\/div><\/li>
    • Blend and gradually add olive oil until the pesto is a brilliant green color and to the texture you wish.<\/div><\/li>
    • Season with salt and pepper.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
      <\/div>\n
      <\/div>\n

      Notes<\/h3>
      All of these amounts are adjustable to taste. If the scapes are short, use more. Keep adding and taste-testing until you get the flavour you want.<\/span><\/span>
      <\/div>\nSometimes the pesto can taste bitter when fresh. Heating or saut\u00e9ing it slightly will remove any bitterness.<\/span><\/span>
      <\/div>\nOne of our favourites is Garlic Scape Pesto Tortellini. Saut\u00e9 a small chicken breast with some onions then add pesto to make a sauce. When heated through, add the cooked tortellini, toss, and let simmer for a minute or two. Rich and delicious!<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
