EARLY GARLIC GREENS (GARLIC SCAPES)
These are a treasure! I find them at farmers' markets in the early summer. This recipe is my favorite preparation, steamed and simple. I serve them as a warm side dish, but I always cook extra so I have leftovers in the refrigerator for cold snacks and salads. They have the texture of green beans with a light and fresh garlic flavor. Alternative preparations include sauted in olive oil or added to soups and stews.

Steps:
- Trim garlic greens by cutting the top (pointy end) to within 1/2" of bud. There will be 6"-8" of green below bud.
- Greens may be cut into any preferred length as you would with green beans. (I like to leave them long because they are beautiful and fun.).
- Steam in steamer basket over boiling water approximately 8 minutes. Time may vary depending on size of green, so test at 5 minutes and adjust time accordingly.
- Remove from steamer and place in serving bowl.
- Toss with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm or cold.
Tips:
- Choose the right greens: For this recipe, you can use a variety of greens, such as kale, spinach, collard greens, or mustard greens. Choose greens that are fresh and have a deep green color.
- Wash the greens thoroughly: Before cooking the greens, be sure to wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. You can do this by rinsing them under cold water or by soaking them in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes.
- Remove the tough stems: If the greens have tough stems, be sure to remove them before cooking. This will make the greens more tender and easier to eat.
- Cook the greens until they are tender: The cooking time for the greens will vary depending on the type of greens you are using. However, as a general rule, you should cook the greens until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.
- Season the greens to taste: Once the greens are cooked, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Warm, tasty greens with garlic are a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. This recipe is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
