Garlic Scapes Butter
Garlic scapes have such a short window every summer — if you blink, you’ll miss them. But if you get your hands on a bunch, this compound butter is hands-down the best thing you can make with them. It takes less than 10 minutes, uses only three ingredients, and the result is a silky, vibrant green butter that works beautifully on just about everything: fresh pasta, crusty bread, grilled steak, roasted vegetables — you name it. Make a big batch, freeze it in logs, and you’ll be pulling it out all year long.
