Very exciting. I have been snipping them up and sauteing them in butter with some brand new pea shoots and then tossing them with pasta and parmesan. I'm going to try the pesto though, because I don't want to waste any of them.SarahBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165070613791708919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125771927276076146.post-19234079622666700462010-06-15T12:29:58.192-04:002010-06-15T12:29:58.192-04:00Sabrina, your ideas sound great! love the corn and...Sabrina, your ideas sound great! love the corn and chorizo hash idea! I made a great frittata with these last week, just sauteed them in a little butter, added some fresh thyme and eggs. I know what you mean about people not always loving them in big pieces like it sounds like you and I do. thanks for reading!

I put some olive oil and maldon salt on them and throw them right on the grill then cut them up over some mizuna greens, or any other salad green. I make a corn & chorizo hash thingy with seared scallops and threw them in there as well. I just love the mild, sweet flavor without being too overpowerinlgy garlicky. I think the pesto idea is perfect, since I always seem to come home with WAY too many scapes, and not everyone in my house is as obsessed with them as I am!
