Garlic Scape And Grains Of Paradise Pistou

• 6-7 Garlic Scapes, chopped
• 1 teaspoon capers, (packed in water or oil)
• 1 Lemon, zested and juiced
• 1/4 cup Good Olive Oil
• 1/4 teaspoon Grains of Paradise
• Pinch of Sea Salt

1. Chop the garlic scapes into small segments. Combine the scapes, capers, lemon zest, grains of paradise and sea salt in a food processor or a mortar. If food processor, pulse until it is a chunky paste. Process more if you want a smoother consistently. If using a mortar, beat and mash vigorously with pestle. Mortar and Pestle is a great stress reliever if you've had a really bad day.
2. Add two tablespoons of lemon juice and beat the ingredients with the pestle some more. Drizzle in the olive oil; mash everything until it is thick and thoroughly combine. There will still be some larger chunks of scapes. I like the chunks- if you don't, keep mashing! If using a food processor, drizzle the olive oil while pulsing.
3. Use as a marinade, a bruschetta topping. Put this in your minestrone or a soup that needs a little punch. Brightens up poultry.
