Ingredients

  • 6 medium butter potatoes
  • 1/3 pound garlic scapes
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup blanched almonds
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 3 hardboiled eggs, peeled

Method

  • Cover the potatoes with water in a large stockpot. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until fork-tender. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a heat-resistant bowl and refrigerate until cooled.
  • In the meantime, wash the garlic scapes and cut into 3? pieces.
  • Heat two teaspoons of olive oil in a small pan over low heat. Add the garlic scapes and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown and roasted, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Process the garlic scapes, almonds and 1/3 cup olive oil in a food processor until completely blended. Mix in the mustard.
  • Chop the potatoes and eggs into bite-sized pieces. Toss with the garlic scape pesto until all the pieces are covered.
