Grilled Garlic SCAPES

Scapes are on of those garden wonders that never make it to the super market but are essential for growers to harvest.  Scapes are a biproduct of garlic, and it needs to be harvest early otherwise it takes energy away from the growing garlic.  Lucky for us, scapes are perfect for a mild garlic flavor that can be added to any dish.  So, while you may not see then in the market you can use them just as you would garlic.
