I've cut them up and put them in stir fries, as Tania does. Not a super-stong flavor, but a nice crispiness.

Maybe try pesto, if you want some flavor. I did it just like making basil pesto -- olive oil, parmesan, pine nuts, S&P, and scapes instead of basil, no need for extra garlic. I didn't cook them first, and the pesto was too strong and garlicky for me. Sort of the antithesis of your "no flavor" problem. My husband heated it up, and that seemed to mellow it out. I've also seen some recipes for them with scrambled eggs.

Here's a link to a lot of scape recipes that I pulled some of mine from: http://weblog.clagettfarm.org/2005/0..._scapes_r.html
