I've just been using it in place of regular garlic so far, but would like to know if anyone has any special recipes that highlight it. I'm feeling very spring this weekend! Fri Mar 17 14:36:44 -0800 2006 0 oaklandfoodie 1 1516655 Potato and Green Garlic Puree: My recipe adapted from a Deborah Madison original using plain garlic. 2 lbs. small red potatoes 1 bunch green garlic (just white part) 3 Tbs. chopped parsley 2 Tbs. butter salt 8 Tbs. milk or cream (optional) More butter pepper Slice green garlic into half inch lengths. Peel potatoes, quarter, and slice thinly. Put garlic, potatoes, parsley and butter in a saucepan and cover by 2 inches with water. Bring to boil and simmer, partially covered, until all is soft and water has cooked away, 25 minutes. Pass mixture through a food mill (not a processor). Stir in milk, add more butter if desired and season with pepper. This recipe showcases the green garlic and is delicious, but not as heavy as mashed potatoes...truly a puree.

Sautee chopped green garlic in some oil and a bit of butter til wilted a bit. Add some chopped up potatoes (also in your box lately, no?) and cover with chicken stock. Simmer for about 20 minutes or so and then puree. This is one soup that benefits from a complete puree. I like leek and potato soup mushed up a bit with the immersion blender but with some pieces left whole. Green garlic soup I like smooth. I serve it with a dollop of Greek yoghurt on top. Chez Pan. cookbook serves it with croutons (good, too). They also have a green garlic souffle in that book.
