Stir Fried Garlic Stems (Scapes) with Bacon
250gm scapes
3 rashers of bacon
3 tablespoons oil
salt
½ tsp sesame oil
If the bases of the garlic scapes are too fibrous cut them off.
Cut into 4cm sections.
Slice bacon across the grain into thin lardons.
Heat a seasoned wok over a high flame. Add the oil and swirl it around, then add the bacon, stir a few times to separate the pieces. Add the garlic scapes and stir-fry until they are just tender and starting to wrinkle, adding salt to taste.
Off the heat, stir in the sesame oil and serve.
