If you grow garlic, whether you are a farmer or an amateur, you will know that in summer the plants shoot up a flower stem, or scape. This needs cutting before the flower opens. It not only improves the quality of the garlic but the scapes taste great and have a wonderful texture too. In Spain scapes, known as ajetes, are mostly used in revueltos and can be bought in jars. In Turkey they are stewed slowly with lamb, potatoes and yoghurt.
