Ok, but how do I use the flower stalks, just chop them up for salad?


Depends on how strong you like things... use raw, stir-fry, fling in the
food processor with olive oil and nuts to taste an call it pesto. I've
still got a bunch made from regular hardneck garlic scapes, frozen in cubes
and bagged, in the freezer. And it's almost scape time in Upstate New
York! Gotta foist some more off on vegetarian daughter, and my guests are
going to get a lot of pesto chicken.
BTW, a couple or 3 cubes thawed works great as a sub for the oil component
of bread.
