Wondering what to do with those garlic scapes you are getting?  Why not try using them as kabob skewers?  Cut the stem end of the garlic scape at a sharp angle.  Push on your favorite kabob ingredients.  Place on the grill and cook until done.  Eat the whole kabob, including the skewer!

White Beans and Cabbage

Szechuan Noodles

This pasta features a variety of flavors, including garlic, ginger, tahini (sesame paste), sherry and sherry vinegar, and more.  The dish is finished off with grated fresh carrot on the top, mimicking fresh grated cheese on top of an Italian pasta dish.  A nice salad with Tahini Asian Dressing works well as a side to […]
