Best Early Garlic Greens Garlic Scapes Recipes
EARLY GARLIC GREENS (GARLIC SCAPES)
These are a treasure! I find them at farmers' markets in the early summer. This recipe is my favorite preparation, steamed and simple. I serve them as a warm side dish, but I always cook extra so I have leftovers in the refrigerator for cold snacks and salads. They have the texture of green beans with a light and fresh garlic flavor. Alternative preparations include sauted in olive oil or added to soups and stews.

Steps:
- Trim garlic greens by cutting the top (pointy end) to within 1/2" of bud. There will be 6"-8" of green below bud.
- Greens may be cut into any preferred length as you would with green beans. (I like to leave them long because they are beautiful and fun.).
- Steam in steamer basket over boiling water approximately 8 minutes. Time may vary depending on size of green, so test at 5 minutes and adjust time accordingly.
- Remove from steamer and place in serving bowl.
- Toss with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm or cold.
SAUTEED TURNIP GREENS & GARLIC SCAPES
Enjoying turnip greens couldn't get any easier or tastier than this! For those who are wondering, garlic scapes are the edible green tops of the garlic plant. Just snape (or cut) them from the garlic plant, and they can be used in whichever dish that minced/chopped garlic would be appropriate.
