Since we grow our own garlic in our vegetable garden, we’re careful to not let any part of the garlic go to waste and that includes using the garlic scapes to make pesto. There is something about fresh garlic that just simply can’t be matched.
Be sure to use butter softened at room temperature and then add the garlic minced by a garlic press. The addition of the red wine will intensify and enhance the flavors and aroma of the garlic butter.
