Asparagus and Arugula French Bread
I used ricotta and sharp cheddar for this bread but you can use any cheeses you enjoy. This bread can be used in any season with fresh veggies from your share.
Ingredient: Garlic Scapes
These are a spring treasure, a veggie that makes CSA members go “ahh yes, this is why I joined a CSA!” They are a hidden gem that most folks don’t even know exists until they become a CSA member.
Garlic Scapes
- Description-
Garlic bulbs send up a long slender green stem when they begin to grow. The stem has a flower at the end, but before the flower opens the garlic “scape” is removed. This sends the plants efforts to the bulb of the plant. Scapes are a treat!
- Preparation-
Scapes are usually cooked but can be eaten on their own. They have a mild garlic scent and flavor so they are good used as aromatics as well.
- Storage-
Garlic scapes freeze well, you can chop them and lay the scapes flat on a sheet and freeze them. When they are frozen place them in a plastic bag and use all year long.
- Nutrition- Vitamin C, A, fiber
