When asparagus is at its pencil thinnest and the garlic scapes first appear, they love to get together with a nut and top your spring greens with joy. (For the uninitiated, garlic scapes—sometimes also called green garlic or whistles—are the long, curly shoots bearing immature flower clusters that form on hardneck garlic plants in early summer. Not as pungent as bulb garlic but still bearing an unmistakable flavor and aroma, green garlic is a fleeting treat at this time of the year, often for only a few weeks.)
Cook’s Tips and Tricks: In order to spritz your oil evenly from edge to edge of your baking sheet, place the sheet loaded with veg on the open door of your dishwasher. Spray away; afterward, when you shut the dishwasher for the load, all the feral drops of oil will wash off, leaving countertops clean.
