Garlic Scapes are the curly flower stock that comes out of the middle of the garlic plant. By trimming these at the right time it sends more energy to the bulb that is growing beneath the soil.

Ingredients

4 Cups Fresh Basil (firmly packed)

20 Garlic Scapes (with the buds broke off)

1/2 Cup Toasted Pine Nuts (I toast these in a non-stick pan till lightly browned)

2 Cups Olive Oil

1 Cup Parmesan Cheese (Shredded)

2 tsp Lemon Juice

2 tsp Salt

2 tsp fresh ground pepper

Steps

  • Blend or process until it is your favorite consistency
