This is a wonderful garlic scape pesto recipe. Garlic scapes, the curled flower from the top of a garlic plant, are abundant at farmers' markets and CSAs (community-supported agriculture shares) in spring and make an easy, fragrant pesto that can be spread on bread or crackers, put on pasta, used with fish, and used as a substitute for garlic, onion, or scallions! Add to sandwiches, pasta, lamb, and fish dishes. Tastes great mixed with mayo.
