The last few days I’ve harvested shallot scapes. They are just like garlic scapes in that they are the flower bulb. I pick it before it opens so all its energy will go into making the bulbs below the ground larger.
They are really delicious sautéed. We already made an omelet with cheese, spinach and scapes and also in some fried rice. If you see them on your shallots or garlic, cut them off but don’t throw them away!
You don’t need to cook them, dice them up to flavor a fresh potato salad. Dice both the stem and the flower- delicious
