Delicious!! The garlic scapes were just sharp enough to strike the right balance with the beans - used more pepper, 2Tbsp water, a bit more lemon juice — spread on multi-seeded bread, nice texture — ate with a salad of tomatoes, cukes, spinach and a light vinaigrette — enjoy with red pepper, mushroom, carrots, celery as dippers — really versatile — love those garlic scapes!!
This is a perennial favorite. So good!
Delicious. The recipe calls for 3 to 4 scapes, and I only used three. It was very garlicky. I would taste it after you’ve made it with three. You can always add the fourth. I skipped the water and added more lemon juice. Excellent.
Delicious, doubled it , used a tiny bit of lemon zest and a bit more than a medium lemon juiced - makes it bright .4 scapes, though hard fibrous end pieces cut off a bit . back off salt a bit , then add more as needed . Tempted , with adding a bit more water to use on pasta !
I made this as written and thought it was on the bland side. I added a handful of parsley and some pickled jalapeño slices to the food processor, which perked it up nicely. I think you could add whatever herbs and spices sound good and really play around with the flavors. A good way to use up scapes.
Fantastic easy dip. Cut back on the amount of scapes if you don't like super strong garlic flavor.
