Do you have any good garlic scape recipes to share? I get them in my CSA but the only recipes I see are for pickled garlic scapes or pestos. Any suggestions?

I get garlic scapes with my CSA too - I just chop them up and saute them and use them like I would garlic. The flavor is slightly different, but amazing. I have added them to hakurai turnips a lot for an awesome vegetable dish.

Rose A.- my favorite way to use garlic scapes is in scrambled eggs.

It's too early for most of this in Milwaukee. At least, if you plan on getting fresh, local, seasonal. California must be awesome though.

Right now we're eating peas, the tail end of strawberries, cherries, salads, all the spring stuff. This list will be great in two to four weeks though.

My favorite summer vegetables are zucchini, I probably have them 3 times a week. I love them sauteed and put in a vinaigrette with mint, a recipe I recreated from a restaurant on the Amalfi Coast. I also love them sauteed in butter and marjoram as part of a fresh, quick dinner. And they're great grilled with some eggplant and a spicy tomato pineapple sauce.

Not to seem too ungrateful, but I have such a love/hate relationship with your recipe roundups. I love looking at all the recipes, and reading all the comments, but I hate when I look up at the clock and see the time that has passed while I did that! Nonetheless, thank you. Many of this recipes are waiting in my to-do queue.

The three cheese tomato tart is phenomenal. I cannot wait for my tomatoes to come in so I can make this again.

Agreed! I made this last summer and it has become one of my favorite recipes, ever.

Agreed! One of my favorite recipes, ever.

YUM! I have met a surplus of zucchini this year with open arms. My favorite way to enjoy them: zucchini enchiladas with zucchini salsa verde. Delish.

Can't wait to try the three-cheese tomato tart!

I belong to a CSA, and I'm a vegetarian - I'm thrilled this time of year!! I post at least one recipe every day using the veg - so I've been busy.

I use garlic scapes in lots of the recipes I'd use regular garlic in, but I have a few special ones...

I have a black barley garlic scape risotto with white corn.

If you type garlic scapes into the search function box lots of other recipes should come up.

I recently made a nice summer tart with a walnut white pepper crust, zucchini, tomatoes, fennel and a garlicy (garlic scapes!) basil custard. Very simple to make, and quite tasty!!

We've had a ton of lettuce, so I used it to make pesto (with pumpkinseeds & goat cheese) and soup with white beans and hazelnuts.

And we've had a delightful amount of beets. I made french lentils cooked with red wine and a bit of orange juice, with roasted beets, walnuts, mozzarella and sage.

And I used roasted beets to make a delicious grillable vegan burger!!

I have lots of greens recipes, and herb recipes, salads, galettes...I could go on and on! Vegetables are my favorite! But I'd better stop.

this is really not fair - we are in the middle of a bleak, snowy winter here in hobart australia, so garden-fresh tomatoes and corn are but a distant memory!

Live the idea of grilling ochra. This past year I have also been steaming them. With a little Sea Salt you are good to go.

@RoseA. -- go to the blog SkilletChronicles.com and search Aglio e Olio California Style. Great green garlic recipe.

Does anyone have any good ideas for fennel? I got some in this week's CSA. I like it, but have never made anything with it before. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
