Here are my five favorite ways to cook with garlic scapes. When using the scape, I prefer to remove and discard the flowering tip of the scape. It tends to be more fibrous and it leaves my pesto with a stringy texture the first time I didn’t remove the bulbous tip.
When carrots are abundant, I like to shred them, measure out 2 cups and vacuum seal them using my FoodSaver vacuum sealer. Then I pop the shredded carrots into the freezer so I have them on hand for when the baking mood hits me. We really like this recipe for carrot muffins. They make a great, quick breakfast and after-dinner snack.
After many attempts, I’ve finally developed the best method for hard-cooking farm-fresh eggs. Ready? I steam them in my Instant Pot! Consider one if you don’t yet have an electronic pressure cooker appliance. It has replaced my slow cooker, rice steamer, and my old-fashioned stove-top pressure cooker, so I justified the expense on the space savings.
We get to enjoy treats like these when our farm fresh eggs are plentiful. Turn everyday ingredients like eggs, whipping cream and sugar into a classic custard with make-ahead qualities.
