Recipe Roundup: Green Garlic

Green garlic is simply immature garlic and looks like a slightly overgrown scallion or green onion. To use, trim off root ends and any tough part of the green leaves. Chop or slice white, light green, and the first few inches of the dark green leaves (as long as they are tender).

Use as you would green onions or garlic. Add raw green garlic to salads, dressings, and sauces. Try it braised, grilled, or pickled. Add it to a frittata, a soup, or pair it with other spring treats like asparagus. Put green garlic in pasta or in your favorite rice bowl Green garlic should be stored in the refrigerator, where it will keep for 5-7 days.

Green garlic is delicious braised, grilled or pickled. It has a flavor more delicate than mature garlic that won't overpower other flavors. Slice it as you would a scallion, and add it to a frittata, soup, pair it with other spring treats like asparagus, or choose from one of our delicious recipes.

Green garlic is milder than regular garlic cloves, giving these muffins just enough flavor without any bite. The goat cheese pairs perfectly in these savory muffins. We love the texture difference between the top part of the muffin and the bottom - it's almost like a biscuit muffin!

Green Garlic Flan

The window is brief during which green garlic—that is, immature garlic—is available each spring at the market, and Jim Eldon of Fiddler’s Green Farm always has a nice supply. The cloves and heads have not yet formed, which means the garlic is mellow and mild and its texture is crisp. This delicate savory custard has a silky texture and the merest hint of garlic flavor. The individual custards make a special side dish for a beer or pork roast, or you can combine them with a small green salad for an unusual first course. —Ann M.
