June is that magical time of year when your garlic bulbs even do pirouettes that spiral into pretty or delicious. The cress or the sorrel should also be booming because the full heat of summer has not yet hit. Your scapes will be best just as they come out of their first spiral. Any longer and you want to dice them for a stir fry or other steam cooked thing. As with all garden produce wash it well and check for insect damage , although garlic is repellent to most insect and is unlikely to be so afflicted.
1/2 chopped to fit your blender/food processor garlic scapes
1/2 cup sorrel(lemony), cress (peppery), spinach or chard (if using spinach or chard add 1 tb lemon juice.
1/2 smoked cheddar or other very sharp cheddar
1/4 cup olive oil
pinch salt
blend until a smooth paste
sequester in jar and cover with a thin layer of olive oil.
eat with bread, crackers,in risotto, with white beans, on apples, etc.
