Delicious!! The garlic scapes were just sharp enough to strike the right balance with the beans - used more pepper, 2Tbsp water, a bit more lemon juice — spread on multi-seeded bread, nice texture — ate with a salad of tomatoes, cukes, spinach and a light vinaigrette — enjoy with red pepper, mushroom, carrots, celery as dippers — really versatile — love those garlic scapes!!
This is a perennial favorite. So good!
I've read that processing olive oil in blender or food processor can make it bitter; better to stir it in at the end. I plan to try that the next time I make the dip or pesto.
Five stars is not enough for this dip. The word “dip” is also insufficient. This is heavenly substance is a flavor powerhouse and so so easy to make. Get on it.
Delicious and addictive. I add a little lemon agrumato oil on top and serve with everything bagel chips from Costco.
Delicious, doubled it , used a tiny bit of lemon zest and a bit more than a medium lemon juiced - makes it bright .4 scapes, though hard fibrous end pieces cut off a bit . back off salt a bit , then add more as needed . Tempted , with adding a bit more water to use on pasta !
