The garlic scape is the unfurling flower stalk before it actually develops the flower as such. It is tender and has a delicate garlic flavour and can be used in cooking.
Cheers,

| Here's a recipe: Brook's Scape Cakes 2 cups garlic or shallot scapes, thinly sliced
3/4 cup chickpea/split pea flour
1 level dessertspoon baking powder (seems too much, haven't tested this recipe)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 teaspoon tumeric
1/2 cup yoghurt
salt, pepper
1/2 cup water approx. Mix ingredients into a batter the consistency of thick cream, allow to stand for 20 minutes. Shallow fry heaping tablespoons in not-too-hot oil (add a dash of sesame oil to the frying oil for flavour). Drain on paper towel. enjoy! PP |
