Ingredients
  

  • 10 Strands Garlic Scapes
  • ⅔ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Shallot finely chopped
  • ½ Tsp Dark Miso Paste

Instructions
 

  • Start by cutting garlic scapes into ½ pieces.
    Garlic scapes are cut into half inch pieces on a wooden cutting board with a knife laying next to them.
  • In a medium saucepan add oil and garlic scapes and cook slowly over low-medium heat for 20 minutes. Be careful not to boil (fry) the garlic scapes, the temp should be kept low at a simmer.
  • At the 20 minute mark, add the finely chopped shallots into the simmering mixture and cook for another 10 minutes or until the shallots are soft.
  • Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Allow the garlic scape confit to cool slightly before adding the miso paste and mixing thoroughly in.
  • Once the confit has cooled completely, store in an airtight container for up to a month unrefrigerated.
