Raw Scape Pesto

Garlic scapes make a pesto that is a pretty green color and a knock-your-socks-off rich garlic flavor. If this pesto is too strong for your taste, add mayonnaise or sour cream to dilute by 1/1 or even 2/1.

½ pound scapes, chopped into 1-inch sections
1 ½ cups olive oil
2 cups grated Parmesan cheese

In a blender, combine the scapes and olive oil. Pour mixture into bowl and blend the cheese in by hand. Use as a cracker or pizza spread. Can be frozen in plastic ice cube trays and used later – this applies to the other pestos, dips and dressings as well. Wrap cubes individually with plastic wrap, place in a freezer bag and return to freezer. Use all year for bruschetta, pasta or pizza.
