Kitchen Notes

Garlic Scapes (aka Rocamboles). These tender green shoots form at the top of the stiff flower stems of hardneck garlic and are increasingly popular for adding flavour to a wide range of dishes - stir-fries, soups, salads, chopped and sautéed in butter and added to mashed potatoes or omelettes.
