Garlic Scapes/Ramps - A Repeat??? - cjs - 06-30-2010 An even bigger and better crop this year!!! I know I've talked about these every year, but they are so good. So, tonight I'm making two small pizzas - one the Buffalo Bruschetta topping one and the other a Garlic Scape pizza. This is one of our all time favorite pizzas and such a nice light summer (grilled) dinner 10 garlic ramps(~3 oz.) Olive oil for brushing 4 oz. coarsely grated fresh mozz. Salt & freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (or a combination of Parm/Reg and Romano) Bring salted water to a boil; blanch the ramps until they are bright green but still al dente, about 1 minute. Drain pat dry and cut into 1" lengths. Brush a pizza dough round with olive oil and sprinkle on the grated mozz. Scatter the blanched ramps over the mozz and season with salt & pepper (Be sure to do this step - it just brings out the flavors perfectly). top with the Parm/Regg. Cook your favorite way. --- Also going to try sauteeing up some with garlic, olive oil/butter, and some kind of light seasoning and freeze - to see if it works. These have such a short season, that if this works, wow, how fun to have them available for a while. I'm also making a Garlic Scape dressing and Orzo Risotto with Mushrooms and Garlic Scapes. You can make a pesto out of the ramps/scapes also. You might look for these at your farmers markets. Re: Garlic Scapes/Ramps - A Repeat??? - Lorraine - 06-30-2010 I sure wish I had room to plant garlic. Looks great, Jean! Re: Garlic Scapes/Ramps - A Repeat??? - Gourmet_Mom - 06-30-2010 If I forget to plant garlic this year, will somebody come down here and kick my azz!?!?!? Re: Garlic Scapes/Ramps - A Repeat??? - cjs - 06-30-2010 you know I forgot to add that I have such a wonderful longing for this pristine (don't know where that came from, but it fits ) and simple pizza after the ramps are just a memory, I have made this with green onions and served it with a green salad for dinner. Great that way also. Re: Garlic Scapes/Ramps - A Repeat??? - Gourmet_Mom - 06-30-2010 I'll testify to the yummy-ness of the green onion version. Re: Garlic Scapes/Ramps - A Repeat??? - mjkcooking - 07-01-2010 Jean how about pickling some to put in salads? I was told to reduce down some Champayne Vinegar and when it was thick to put scapes in and let set a few days and start using. Marye Re: Garlic Scapes/Ramps - A Repeat??? - cjs - 07-01-2010 They are good in salads also - the reduction sounds very good also.
