Hi everybody!
Welcome to week 3, where I am sure you will notice a little more variety creeping into your share as more vegetables are ready for picking.
Today, we’re getting garlic scapes, those delicious garlic shoots that used to be thrown away. They are a springtime delight!
So, today’s recipe is for garlic scapes compound butter. Compound butter can be made with many different herbs and spices, requires no cooking, and will add delicious flavor to almost anything you might serve. So delightful on a steak, chicken, fish, vegetables – almost anything!
GARLIC SCAPES COMPOUND BUTTER
INGREDIENTS
- ½ C (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 TBS minced garlic scapes
- 1 TBS chopped fresh thyme or rosemary
- 1 TBS minced parsley or chives
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt, more to taste
- In a bowl, mash together butter, garlic scapes, herbs, lemon juice, pepper, and salt.
- Spoon the butter onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, form into a log and wrap well. Chill for at least 3 hours before using.
That’s all there is to it! Place a slice on top of your hot protein just before serving it. You’ll love it!
I hope you enjoy today’s recipe and all the lovely vegetables.
Have a delicious week!
Best,
