Garlic Scape Chutney
The market’s cafe operator, Melanie, also happens to be a brilliant nutritionist and chef and the brains behind The Food Reconnection. She shared this dynamite garlic scape recipe. I (Cait) whipped it up today, using sunflowers in lieu of almonds and swapped out early season basil in one batch for the mint. All worked out beautifully. Try it! Garlic scapes will only be in season for a short while longer 😘 These beauts were grown with love by the humans of Transfarmation.
1 1/2 cup chopped garlic scapes, tops removed
1 cup fresh mint, packed
1/2 cup roasted almonds or raw nuts of your choice
1 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 jalapeño or Serrano pepper- for a little kick (optional)
1 T lemon or lime juice
2/3 C olive oil.
Place all the chutney ingredients in a food processor and pulse until desired consistency. Taste and adjust to your liking.
Delicious on a salmon burger or a grilled chicken breast and amazing in a baked potato!
