One of the treats in our weekly CSA pick-up was garlic scapes. I have never seen garlic scapes, nor have I heard of them. I did a quick search online and found that you can do just about anything with them, from adding chopped scapes to pastas and omelets to making pesto. This morning, I made scrabbled eggs with chopped garlic scapes. They were a little awkward to cut, but the results were delicious.
Raw scapes have a slight garlic taste. Cooked scapes reminded me of asparagus. Here is the simple recipe that I followed. Za'atar was used as a seasoning.
Ingredients
Handful of garlic scapes, chopped
Eggs
Directions
1. On medium heat, sautee garlic scapes in butter for about 5-10 minutes until tender and browned.
2. Add egg mixture and preferred seasonings and cook until eggs are cooked through.
You can also incorporate chopped garlic scapes into an omelet.

Wow, those are kind of cool and alien looking. I've never seen, nor heard of them before.
I love garlic scapes! And like you, the only time I've had them was from a CSA box. I was hoping to find them at the small local farmers market this year, but no luck. :(
