INGREDIENTS
Garlic scapes
Extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Lemon juice (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Heat your grill/BBQ to high. Trim the scapes, removing the flower bud if desired, and toss in olive oil to coat lightly.
Place the scapes on the grill. Use tongs to turn occasionally.
The scapes will cook quickly. When the scapes are browned and soft (they go limp when you turn them), remove them from the grill and toss with sea salt to taste and some lemon juice, if desired. Serve hot.
