Good morning to all,

Once again, the Santas of Full Circle Farms have delivered us yet another beautiful box. So those Garlic Scapes don't sit and lose life, make breakfast potatoes with them. Its easy, here's the recipe:

Breakfast Potatoes with Garlic Scapes
2T veg oil
2 ea potatoes
1/4 of yellow onion
6 ea garlic scapes
tt salt
tt pepper
tt Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce

*tt means to taste, what you think is enough

1. Get a medium saute pan on the burner and heat slowly. Quarter the potato and slice thin. Set aside and hold. Julienne (sliced thin and long ways) the yellow onion. Take the scapes and cut a small dice or 1/4 of an inch length of the scapes, until you get to the bulb, and cut those in half. Cook the bulbs or save for garnish.

2. Turn the heat up on the pan to between medium heat and high and drop the oil in.
When the oil heats up, put the potatoes in and stir until they are well coated. Let sit for 30 seconds and stir. Do that for a couple of minutes, then add the scapes. You might have to adjust your heat for more/less depending on your BTU or heat output. Saute until the potatoes are tender. Remember to scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to get all the delicious fond or crust off the bottom.

3. Add the onions for the last two minutes to saute them and bring out their sugar. When the onions are soft and slightly caramelized and the potatoes are done, place on a plate. Drizzle a design on the plate with the Sriracha Sauce. Time to eat.

This afternoon I will write a recipe for a Grilled Yellow Peach and Red Plum salad with red onions, feta and a balsamic reduction.

Until later, eat well.
