What goes with Green Garlic?
Green garlic is an immature garlic plant, usually sold with a pale shaft, developing bulb and attached leaves. The edible proportion changes with age: small shoots can be cooked nearly whole, while larger ones need their tough outer leaves stripped away. The pale portion is succulent and more substantial than a chopped herb, with a gentler flavour than mature garlic cloves.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Green Garlic?
A pale green-garlic sauce suits potato, chicken and restrained dairy because these leave room for its mild aroma. Crisp mushroom edges or a dry seed-and-nut mixture add useful texture to that softness. Saline seafood accents require small doses; place them on the finished garlic preparation so their initial saltiness gives way to the sweeter allium underneath.
