Thanks!

Green garlic is harvested before it matures and separates into cloves; it is similar to green onion in size and shape, and tastes something like a milder cross between garlic and onion. Peeled elephant garlic cloves and trimmed (root end & tough part of the tops) green onions are a pretty good substitute for green garlic.

Hope that helps!

I am really excited to make this tonight for dinner. I tried your brussell sprouts recipe and we love it. If I’m using regular garlic and just add some green onion, would you roast the green onion also? When you say garlic trimmed, does that mean you’re still leaving it in cloves and just taking the outer part off? Thanks so much.

Oh so delicious-looking, as usual! I love that your local ingredients end up in such internationally inspired dishes. :-)

Thanks! Green garlic tastes like mild garlic & green onion in one, so a little of each of those should do.

The soup sounds amazing. Can I substitute for the green garlic? Not sure I can get any of that
