Fresh green garlic

Green garlic is young garlic which is harvested before the cloves have begun to mature. The resulting vegetable resembles a scallion, with a deep green stalk and a pale white bulb. Green garlic, on the other hand, is harvested before the plant is mature. The stalks are still totally green, usually around one foot (30 centimeters) long, and the bulb resembles that of a green onion, rather than a segmented head of garlic. The flavor of green garlic is still garlicky, but is much milder with less of a bitter bite. When cooked, the green garlic sweetens, lending a new layer of depth to a dish. The whole plant, including the leaves, can be used. It can be used raw or cooked in a broad assortment of cuisines.Green garlic pasteGrind the chopped garlic in a grinder to get a garlic paste.
