GARLIC SCAPES RECIPE FOR THE GRILL
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside with a mild garlic taste. This Garlic Scapes Recipe For The Grill will be a sure-fire conversation starter at your next BBQ party.
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pounds garlic scapes
2 tbsp olive oil ( I used butter flavoured)
1 tsp smoked sea salt
1/4 tsp black truffle salt (to garnish/optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
TO PREPARE THE GARLIC SCAPES:
Wash and pat dry garlic scapes.
Cut off dry ends and thick stalk ends (the bulb at the end).
You can choose to leave them whole if you wish, or cut them into long pieces. Place in a bowl.
Massage them with the olive oil, and season with the smoked sea salt. You can also add pepper if you wish.
TO GRILL THE GARLIC SCAPES:
Heat the BBQ to medium.
Oil a grill basket, and add the prepared garlic scapes.
Grill for about 10 minutes, turning several times. Garlic scapes are done when they are slightly browned on the outside, and tender on the inside. Very similar to asparagus.
Remove from grill, and season with black truffle salt.
ENJOY!!
NOTES
If you wish, leave the garlic scapes whole and you can put them (in coiled piles) directly on the grill. We find this method a little more difficult since they tend to slip through the BBQ grates.
