Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (100g) fresh garlic scapes, woody ends removed
  • 1/2 cup (60g) pine nuts
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Wash the garlic scapes and pat them completely dry. Trim off the tough, fibrous flower buds and the very bottom of the stems, then roughly chop the scapes into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Place the chopped scapes and toasted pine nuts into the food processor. Pulse 5-7 times until the mixture looks like a coarse meal.
  3. While the processor is running on low, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a thin, steady stream.
  4. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Pulse 3 more times until the mixture is combined and aromatic.
