GARLIC SCAPE

Garlic and Garlic Scape Recipes

“Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian;
Wine and tarragon make it French.
Sour cream makes it Russian;
Lemon and cinnamon make it Greek.
Soy sauce makes it Chinese;
Garlic makes it good.”

~Alice May Brock

Available in June, garlic scapes are the flower stalk of the garlic. We are taking garlic scapes orders right now! The entire stalk and flower are edible. With mild garlic flavor and aroma, they are wonderful additions to stew, roasts, marinade, salads, sandwiches, sauces, bread, pasta, pesto, stir-fry, roasted, or even steamed and eaten as a vegetable. The possibilities are endless!

We have tried many of the following recipes using garlic cloves or scapes (and many more!), although a few use scapes specifically for their size and color. If you don’t have scapes, use a few cloves of garlic and see how it goes!

Oh, and before you cook with garlic next time, check out this video to learn “How to peel garlic in 10 seconds” because it does work!

More to come! Feel free to send your recipe for inclusion here…

Scapes can be frozen whole, or diced and bagged for freezing!
Simply wash, mince (you can even use the tip (flower), or can cut it off if desired), bag, and freeze.

BREADS

Garlic Monkey Bread

Mix the dough in a bread machine for ease, or try tubes of biscuit dough from the grocery store instead of homemade bread. I’ve not used the biscuit tubes, but they work for cinnamon Monkey Bread, and might work if you aren’t a homemade bread baker.

1 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/4 cups bread flour
4 tsp sugar
4 tsp fresh oregano, OR 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp active dry yeast

Add ingredients to bread machine and set on dough cycle. When finished, place dough on lightly floured surface and pat to 1/2+ inch thickness. Cut dough into about 32 pieces.

Garlic Butter Mixture:

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
Diced garlic or chopped garlic scapes to taste (we like a LOT of garlic flavor!)

Dip dough chunks into the garlic/scape mixture and place them butter-side down in a greased bundt pan. Continue dipping and layering dough with butter side down until all dough is in the bundt pan.

Bake at 375 until brown (15 to 25 minutes, depending upon the size of the cake pan). Invert onto a serving dish and serve warm…maybe with some additional garlic butter to dip the pieces in!

Veggie and Chicken Pizza with Scapes

Pizza crust (I used half of a bread recipe and added garlic and diced scapes to the dough)

1 block cream cheese, softened
1/3rd bottle of Ranch salad dressing
Veggies of choice (asparagus, spinach, broccoli, red peppers, zucchini, etc.), sautéed or cooked
Bleu cheese crumbles, optional
Cooked shredded or diced chicken, optional
Garlic scapes (minced, whole, or chopped)

Make crust and partially bake. Poke holes with a fork around the crust, except for the outer 1″ edge.
Mix the veggies with the cream cheese and Ranch dressing. Salt/Pepper to taste. Spread on crust.
Top with chicken, bleu cheese, and scapes, then mozzarella cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees until the cheese bubbles and it’s hot!

PASTAS

Summertime Herbed Chicken and Pasta

An easy, colorful, and healthy main dish using fresh herbs, and vegetables…perhaps from your own garden.

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked diced boneless chicken breast – grilled or baked

2 cups Penne Pasta or Mini Penne Pasta

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

1 cup zucchini – diced

½ cup red or orange pepper – diced

¼ cup carrots – thinly sliced

¼ cup garlic scapes – chopped – optional

¼ cup onion – slivered or diced

½ cup quartered cherry tomatoes

4-5 large garlic cloves* – chopped or pressed  (or you could go for it and use the entire bulb!)

1 tsp fresh oregano* – finely chopped – optional

1 tsp fresh thyme* – finely chopped – optional

½ tsp fresh rosemary* – finely chopped – optional

Grated Parmesan and/or Romano Cheese

Cracked pepper

Salt

Rosemary or oregano sprigs – optional

Prepare pasta as directed, drain, return to pan, and cover.

While pasta is cooking, heat diced chicken breast in approx 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet.

Remove chicken, set it aside, and cover.

Add approx 2 tablespoons of olive oil to skillet and turn heat to medium-high.

Saute onion, peppers, carrots, scapes, and garlic until slightly tender.

Add fresh herbs*

Combine chicken, vegetable mixture, and pasta.

Add remaining olive oil.

Heat through.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Place in serving the dish. Top with freshly cracked pepper and grated cheese.  Garnish with rosemary or oregano sprigs.

Serve with homemade garlic bread topped with garlic scape butter.

Serves a hungry family of 4

*You can use store-bought pesto in place of the fresh herbs.  Substitute approximately 3 heaping tablespoons of pesto for herbs. More or less subject to taste.

Garlic Scape Carbonara
serves 4

This pasta is fantastic as a meal served with a big garden salad and some crusty bread. If desired, add a half-cup of fresh, lightly cooked peas to the mix for a little added nutrition (and sweetness).

1/2 lb Campanella pasta, or shape of your choosing
4 slices bacon (about 3 1/4 ounces), chopped
1/4 cup garlic scapes, cut into 1/4 inch coins
2 large eggs
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup freshly grated Romano cheese

Set a pot of water to boiling on the stove and cook the Campanella pasta (or desired shape).

While it’s cooking, cook the bacon over medium heat until browned. Remove the bacon pieces with a slotted spoon and add the garlic scapes. Cook until soft (2-3 minutes). Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon. (Drain both the bacon and the garlic scapes on a paper towel).

Whisk together the eggs, salt, and red pepper flakes.

When the pasta is done, quickly remove it from the stove and set a different burner to low heat. Drain the pasta and add it back to the pot, on the burner set to low. Stir in the garlic scapes and bacon. Add the egg mixture and stir feverishly for 3-4 minutes until sauce is thick and creamy. Don’t let it overcook or it will be gloppy. Sprinkle the Romano cheese in, a little at a time, and stir to combine. Don’t add it all at once or it won’t mix throughout the pasta as well (since it will clump).

Serve immediately.  http://sarahscucinabella.com/

DIPS, SAUCES, DRESSINGS

Garlic Scape Pesto 

1 pound garlic scapes
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Olive oil (about 1/2 to 1 cup)
2 Tbls lemon juice (optional)
½ cup Walnuts (optional)

Chop the garlic scapes into 3-inch lengths. Put it in the food processor and process until pureed. Add the parmesan and walnuts and process until smooth. Add lemon juice then slowly add the olive oil as the food processor runs and continue until all the oil is combined into the garlic. Store in an air-tight jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze.

Pesto is wonderful on bread, sandwiches, pasta, focaccia, or on meat such as chicken and fish.

White Bean and Garlic Scape Dip

1/3 cup sliced garlic scapes (3 to 4)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, more to taste

1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt, more to taste

Ground black pepper to taste

1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, more for drizzling.

In a food processor, process garlic scapes with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until finely chopped. Add cannellini beans and process to a rough purée.

With motor running, slowly drizzle olive oil through feed tube and process until fairly smooth. Pulse in 2 or 3 tablespoons water, or more, until mixture is the consistency of a dip. Add more salt, pepper and/or lemon juice, if desired.

Spread out dip on a plate, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with more salt.  Serve with bread, tortilla chips, etc.

Simple Garlic Vinaigrette

1 cup of vegetable oil
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar (or be creative…try red wine vinegar or white vinegar)
3 tablespoons honey
2 small to medium-sized cloves garlic (or one large clove), minced
Optional: sea salt, pepper, dill to taste

In a container, combine oil, vinegar, honey, and garlic. Cover, and shake until blended. Set aside for 45 minutes, to allow flavors to combine. Shake again before serving.

Once the vinaigrette is a couple of weeks old, it should no longer be used on salad. Pour the left-over vinaigrette over chicken breasts and marinate all day. Bake in a casserole dish for extremely moist, tender, and tasty chicken!

Emeril’s Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette

2 large heads of garlic
Olive oil, for drizzling
¼ teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
¼ cup red wine or balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 ½ teaspoon honey
½ cup olive oil or leftover tuna poaching oil
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut about 1/2-inch off the top of the garlic heads. Place on a sheet of foil and drizzle with a bit of olive oil and season with salt. Wrap the foil into an “envelope” and place on a baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and cook until soft, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool and then peel.

Combine the garlic, vinegar, parsley, and honey in a blender and puree until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil in a steady stream until emulsified. Season with the ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Alternately, combine the ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk until emulsified.

Yield: ¾ cup.

Monty’s Secret Garlic White Sauce

1 Cup Canola
4-5 crushed garlic cloves
1 Tsp salt or less
Juice from 1/3 of a lemon
1-2 egg whites
With a hand blender blend the first 4 ingredients for 1.5 minutes, use a tall-sided container so it does not splatter. Add 1 egg white and blend for 20 seconds add the second egg white if it does not solidify. It should be the thickness of margarine.

Serve with meat or use as a sandwich spread.

JUST SCAPES

Sautéed Garlic Scapes

2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp dark brown sugar
8 oz garlic scapes, trimmed
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped tomatoes
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp chopped parsley
1/4 cup grilled halloumi cheese, diced

Heat the oil in a sauté pan and add sugar. Stir to caramelize the sugar for about 2-3 minutes and add the scapes. Cover and sauté over medium-high heat for no more than 3 minutes, occasionally shaking the pan to prevent scorching.  After 3 minutes, add the tomatoes and wine. Stir, then cover and reduce heat to low; continue cooking 5-6 minutes or until scapes are tender but not soft. Season, then add the parsley and halloumi. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Haloumi Cheese Note: Haloumi cheese is a goat and/or sheep cheese made in Cyprus. It can be sliced and grilled or fried in a skillet, and it doesn’t melt. Other salty cheeses such as cheddar or aged chevre can be substituted.

Grilled Garlic Scapes

Grilled scapes are sweet with a mild garlic/onion flavor. Even our children love them!

Wrap scapes in tinfoil with a little bit of olive oil. Some people just lay tinfoil on the grill, add oil, and grill uncovered.
Grill until tender.
Salt if desired, and enjoy!

MISCELLANEOUS USES OF GARLIC AND SCAPES

Homemade Garlic Powder

The garlic powder you buy in the store may contain dehydrated and bleached shucks, stems, etc. so the actual amount of true garlic in store-bought garlic powder may be minimal. Homemade garlic powder is so superior…a must-have item in our kitchens!

Shuck the garlic and peel cloves. (Polish White makes a nice, fine-textured powder, and German Red is full-bodied)
Mince in a food processor
Dehydrate the minced garlic (don’t dehydrate whole cloves unless you have a very strong food processor, as they become too hard to powder if left whole)
Process again after dehydrating until the correct consistency of powder is reached.
Store in an airtight container, and enjoy!

Pickled Garlic Scapes

1 pound or more of scapes, whole

3 cups vinegar

5 cups of water

¼ cup kosher salt

Fresh Basil Leaves

Chili Flakes

Boil the water, vinegar & salt solution. Pack hot jars with whole scapes, 1 fresh basil leaf, a pinch of chili flakes (depending on your spice tolerance) and then the brine. Put on lids, place in a hot water canner and boil for 45 minutes. Leave at least 2 weeks before serving to get the best flavor.

Garlic Scape Soup

From Super Natural Cooking, by Heidi Swanson

2 tablespoons clarified butter or extra-virgin olive oil
2 dozen garlic scapes, flower buds discarded and green shoots chopped
3 large russet potatoes, unpeeled and cut into ½ inch dice
5 cups vegetable stock or water
2 large handfuls spinach leaves, stemmed
Juice of ½ lemon
½ teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup heavy cream (optional)
Chive blossoms, for garnish (optional)

Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, then add the scapes and sauté for 2 minutes.

Add the potatoes and stock, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through and beginning to break down.

Remove from the heat, add the spinach, and puree using a hand blender. (If you must use a conventional blender, be careful; the hot liquid can burst out the top and make a huge, potentially painful mess. Try leaving the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape. Cover the top with a kitchen towel and blend in batches at low speed.)

Season with the lemon juice, salt, and a few grinds of pepper.

Whisk in the cream for a silkier texture.

If the soup tastes flat, add salt a few big pinches at a time until the flavors really pop.

Serve garnished with the chive blossoms.

Serves 4 to 6.

Garlic Marinade

From Two Creek Farms Botanical Sanctuary

I use jelly jars and about 4 bulbs separated and peeled; use 1 third cup Tamari sauce, 1 third honey, and 1 third water; let it stay in the fridge for a month at least. I use the marinade to stir fry when the garlic is gone, and I like to bake chicken with the cloves, as they get caramelized. You can use larger jars for your own use but the jelly jars make nice gifts. Enjoy!

Can You Bring a Vape on a Plane Under 21

Introduction

Ready to take your vape on a plane but not quite sure, Can You Bring a Vape on a Plane Under 21 ? What You Need to Know? Whether you’re a seasoned vaper or just starting out, knowing the ins and outs of traveling with your vape is essential. In this guide, we’ll dive into the rules, risks, and tips for bringing your vape on board. Stay tuned to ensure a smooth flight with your trusty device!

Section 1: Can You Bring a Vape on a Plane?

Flying can be stressful enough without wondering if you can bring your vape along for the journey. The good news is that most airlines do allow passengers to bring vapes on planes, but there are some important regulations to keep in mind. It’s crucial to check with both the airline and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) before packing your vape in your carry-on luggage.

When traveling with a vape, it’s essential to follow TSA guidelines regarding liquids and batteries. Vape juice must be stored in containers of 3.4 ounces or less, placed in a clear plastic bag, and taken out during security screening. Additionally, batteries should be removed from the device and carried separately to prevent any potential hazards.

While many airlines permit vaping devices on board, it’s advisable to review individual policies beforehand as some may have specific restrictions or designated areas for use. Being informed about airline regulations will help ensure a smoother travel experience with your vape by your side.

Section 2: The Risks of Vaping on a Plane

Imagine being on a plane, surrounded by strangers and enclosed in a confined space. Vaping might seem like a discreet way to get your nicotine fix, but it comes with risks when you’re up in the air.

Vaping on a plane can set off smoke alarms designed to detect even the slightest hint of combustion. This could lead to unnecessary panic among passengers and crew members.

The smell from vaping can be bothersome to those around you who might not appreciate being subjected to the scent of fruity or sweet vapor during their flight.

There’s always the chance that your vape device could malfunction at 30,000 feet above ground level – not an ideal situation for anyone onboard. It’s best to err on the side of caution when it comes to vaping on planes.

Section 3: How to Pack Your Vape for Air Travel

So, you’ve decided to bring your vape on a plane for your upcoming trip. Packing it properly is crucial to ensure a smooth journey through airport security. Always remember that e-cigarettes and vape pens should be packed in your carry-on luggage rather than checked baggage. This helps prevent any potential issues with battery safety during the flight.

When packing your vape, disassemble it as much as possible. Remove the tank or pod from the device and place them in separate sealable plastic bags to prevent leakage. Remember to also empty the tank before packing it to avoid any mess or leaks during travel.

To further secure your vape gear, consider investing in a protective case designed specifically for electronic cigarettes. These cases are usually compact and can help keep all components organized and protected throughout your journey.

Make sure to review airline regulations regarding vaping devices before you travel. While most airlines allow passengers to bring vapes onboard, some may have specific rules or restrictions in place that you need to be aware of beforehand. By following these simple packing tips, you’ll be ready to enjoy your vaping experience while on the go!

Section 4: Vaping and Minors: Legal and Ethical Considerations

As a responsible vaper, it’s crucial to be aware of the legal and ethical considerations surrounding vaping and minors. The legal age for purchasing and using vape products varies by country and state, so always research the regulations before traveling with your vape.

It’s important to consider the impact of underage vaping on public health. Minors are more susceptible to nicotine addiction and its harmful effects. By keeping vapes out of reach of young individuals, we can contribute to creating a healthier environment for everyone.

Ethically, providing access to vapes or promoting their use among minors is concerning due to potential health risks and regulatory violations. It’s our responsibility as adults to uphold these standards and protect younger generations from the dangers associated with vaping.

By being mindful of these legal and ethical aspects, we can navigate air travel with our vapes responsibly while advocating for safe practices within the vaping community.

Section 5: Common Questions and Misconceptions

When it comes to flying with a vape under the age of 21, there are some common questions and misconceptions that need clarification. One of the most frequent questions is whether TSA allows vapes in carry-on luggage. The answer is yes, you can bring your vape on a plane, but there are regulations to follow.

However, it’s important to note that most airlines prohibit vaping on their aircraft due to safety concerns and potential disturbances to other passengers. Some travelers wonder if they can pack extra vape juice or batteries in their checked baggage.

Additionally, many people question whether minors can travel with vapes. It’s crucial to understand the legal age restrictions for purchasing and possessing vaping products both at home and at your destination when traveling.

Staying informed about airline policies and respecting fellow passengers’ space will ensure a smooth travel experience with your vape device.

Conclusion: Can You Bring a Vape on a Plane Under 21

As you prepare for your next flight, remember that bringing, Can You Bring a Vape on a Plane Under 21 comes with its own set of rules and considerations. Understanding the regulations, risks, and ethical aspects of vaping in airports and during flights is crucial to ensure a smooth travel experience for yourself and those around you. By following the guidelines provided here, you can navigate air travel with your vape device responsibly and in compliance with relevant laws. Stay informed, pack smartly, and always prioritize safety when it comes to bringing a vape on board. Happy travels!

The Power of Patience and Precision

Patience and precision are often the unsung heroes in a world that glorifies speed and efficiency. In a society where instant gratification is the norm, taking the time to slow down and pay attention to detail can make all the difference.

Patience allows us to approach tasks with a calm and focused mindset, avoiding hasty decisions that could lead to costly mistakes. It gives us the ability to wait for the right moment, rather than rushing into things impulsively.

Enhancing Productivity Through Slowing Down

Enhancing productivity through slowing down may seem counterintuitive in a fast-paced world, but taking the time to focus on each task with precision can yield remarkable results. By intentionally slowing down, you allow yourself the space to fully immerse in your work without distractions or rushing through it.

When you slow down, you give yourself the opportunity to pay attention to details that might have been overlooked otherwise. This heightened level of focus can lead to higher quality outputs and more efficient workflow. Rather than trying to multitask and juggle numerous tasks at once, slowing down allows you to prioritize effectively and tackle one task at a time with full concentration.

Moreover, by embracing a slower pace, you reduce the likelihood of errors or having to go back and fix mistakes later on. Taking your time ensures that each step is completed thoroughly and accurately before moving on to the next. In essence, enhancing productivity through slowing down is about working smarter rather than harder.

Maximizing Efficiency While Focusing on Precision

In today’s fast-paced world, the ability to maximize efficiency while focusing on precision is a valuable skill set. By honing in on the details and ensuring accuracy in every task, individuals can achieve greater results with minimal errors.

Efficiency is about working smarter, not harder. It involves streamlining processes, eliminating wasteful steps, and optimizing resources to get the job done effectively. When combined with a focus on precision, it ensures that each action taken is deliberate and accurate.

Attention to detail plays a crucial role in achieving precision. Whether it’s double-checking calculations or reviewing work for errors, taking the time to be thorough can prevent costly mistakes down the line.

By balancing efficiency with precision, individuals can deliver high-quality work in less time. This approach not only boosts productivity but also enhances overall performance and reputation in any field or industry.

Conclusion

The mantra “Slow is Smooth and Smooth is Fast” encapsulates a powerful concept that transcends military operations to various sectors of life. By embracing patience, precision, and efficiency, individuals can enhance their performance and achieve success in their endeavors. Whether in training programs like Navy SEALs or implementing Agile principles in business practices, the power of slowing down to focus on smooth execution can lead to remarkable outcomes. Embracing this mindset not only boosts productivity but also fosters a culture of excellence and continuous improvement. So remember, sometimes the key to moving fast lies in mastering the art of going slow and steady.
