Scape and chard pies

Bonnie writes: I decided to try [scapes] out as a replacement for garlic in the chard pie. The end result was an earthier, more delicate flavour to the mix - which is a welcome change to an otherwise mundane-ish meal (although I really, really like chard pie in general - it's just you get used to it, if you know what I mean).

Scape is the sprout of the garlic plant, a thin, green stalk that curls above the ground and is more tender and sweeter than the cloves. It must be picked within the first two weeks that it breaks the surface of the soil. If you wait too long and the stalk straightens out, the scapes become tough and unappetizing.
