This is a perennial favorite. So good!
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!!
I've read that processing olive oil in blender or food processor can make it bitter; better to stir it in at the end. I plan to try that the next time I make the dip or pesto.
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.
It's scape time! Get em early before they toughen up. This recipe is great as is but this year I'm going to try a batch with just a tbsp or two of sour cream to soften it a bit.
