Garlic Scape Oil

Scape, such an interesting word. 

I finally got around to dealing with these funky... vegetables? herbs? Scapes still have a garlic smell and flavor, but it's much more mild than garlic bulbs. 

They've been on the counter for at least a week and they've kept very well in a glass of water, probably could've gone longer. 

I cut the flower heads off and in half since they're quite large. 


They ended up in a glass pint jar which was then topped with canola oil. 


The recipe said to store it in the fridge as there's a risk of botulism growth if it's left at room temp. That's also why canola oil was recommended, so it doesn't go solid in the fridge. After a week or two, the oil will be gently garlic infused and ready for action: dressings, stir frys, other cooking.
