We made it onto the Indian Road Cafe menu this week. The garlic scapes are served with Arthur Avenue ricotta ravioli! I’ve been making korean-style pajeon with the scapes. It’s a savory pancake that cooks up very quickly, has a delicate crunch, and is an awesome and quick appetizer. Want the recipe?
