We cook them like asparagus or green beans. They are great. The farmers market that I go to sell them so we've been enjoying them for a few weeks. We cook them like asparagus or green beans.

Garlic chives are a type of herb with an onion and garlic flavor. Garlic scapes are shoots that grow from a bulb of garlic as it matures. Scapes and chives have a similar flavor, but scapes are thicker and have a more intense garlic taste. Hi Jen – They are different. Garlic chives are a type of herb with an onion and garlic flavor.

Chopped and sauteed, they're great anywhere you might use garlic or scallions. They keep really well in the vegetable drawer, and I even chop and freeze them to add a little fresh garlic taste to sauces year round.

I was curious about them and planning to do some internet research to try to identify them, so imagine my surprise when I saw them on your blog as the Market Watch item! What a pleasant coincidence! I will definitely try them out in some recipes, and I can't wait for the garlic itself to mature. Thanks!

We grill them as well but find them to be a bit tough to chew through when cooked this way. I added them to a chicken soup with bunch of recipes which gave it a wonderful subtle garlic flavor. They are a fun conversation starter as well because most people are not familiar with them! Great info! I love to toss pesto with grilled zucchini or with oven roasted broccoli!! Toss Broccoli in olive oil, salt and pepper and roast for 15 minutes @ 500...remove and toss with pesto! It is divine :) I receive scapes in my CSA share all the time and love using them in pesto in place of garlic or as an addition!
