Young garlic (recipes).Fresh green arrows, milky white cloves of young garlic, appearing in the beds in mid-May are a delicacy that is as short-lived as it is attractive. Don't miss your chance to enjoy them.
In a Russian village, young garlic appears in the beds earlier than others spring vegetables, has always been considered the best remedy for vitamin deficiency. In fact, its crispy green shoots and snow-white cloves, which have not yet acquired a pungent garlic taste and smell, are replete with the very vitamins and microelements from which our body suffered most during the winter. However, those who consider young garlic a sign of exclusively country cuisine will be mistaken: Catherine the Great wrote about her love for this “common” delicacy, and at the courts of the French monarchs of the 18th century, the gardener who was the first to deliver fresh garlic heads to the royal table in the season received a generous reward . The life of young garlic is very short: already two weeks after the appearance, the heads begin to be covered with a rough peel, and the greens lose their tenderness. That is why those who want to try this spring delicacy should not waste time.
Seven clothes
Traditional medicine attributes the ability to heal seven diseases to the membranes surrounding each garlic clove (according to legend, there are always exactly seven of them). Whether this is true or not is unknown, but for culinary purposes these films are truly irreplaceable. Cut into thin strips and added to a salad, sauce or omelet, they will add a subtle, subtle garlic flavor to any dish without the slightest admixture of bitterness or spiciness. And don’t forget that the sooner you peel the cloves from these translucent skins, the longer you can keep the garlic intact - peeled cloves can be stored for up to three days without losing their freshness.
Green feather 
Juicy garlic arrows are the quintessence of spring freshness. Alas, the lifespan of cut arrows is very short: after just a few hours, their edges turn yellow, and they themselves lose their aroma and pleasant crispness. The best way To preserve garlic shoots for a long time - pickle them. Finely chop the greens (you can use a food processor for this purpose) and mix them with coarse salt in a one-to-one ratio, place the resulting emerald mass in pre-sterilized jars. This aromatic seasoning will remind you of the spring sun until next year and serve as an excellent addition to meat, soups or sauces.
Milk ripeness
Young, milky ripeness, garlic has a much less coarse and intense taste than its more mature counterpart, and, unlike it, does not leave behind an unpleasant odor. However, if you are still afraid of the spiciness, you can bake the young garlic cloves - this way you will preserve their fresh original taste, but completely get rid of their inherent harshness and specific aroma. To do this, peel the garlic from the top scales and, cutting off the bottom of the garlic head, wrap it in foil. Bake the resulting package in an oven heated to 180 degrees for 15–20 minutes. Spread on crispy toast soaked in olive oil, baked garlic pulp will become a delicious delicacy that can decorate both a modest family breakfast and a festive buffet.
As soon as young garlic appears on sale, hurry to use all its capabilities. And they are huge! Unlike its autumn, much aged brother, young garlic can be eaten raw without wincing, added whole heads to vegetable, meat and fish dishes, make puree and soufflé from it. By the way, oven-baked garlic is an amazing side dish for any fish dish.

Recipe for making green garlic for the winter

We sterilize the jars in advance: we either boil them or leave them in the oven to warm up.
The most painstaking task is peeling young garlic. We cut off the roots and pull the first leaf from top to bottom all the way to the bulb, and in this way we peel all the garlic.
As a result, we should have two different stacks - bulbs with stems and leaves. If they are still wet, there is no need to dry them.
We scroll the bulbs and petioles through a meat grinder, and grind them in a blender or food processor (then it is better to pre-cut).
Finely chop the feathers with a knife and add to the chopped onions. Mix thoroughly into a homogeneous mass, chop the parsley into the same bowl.
Let's continue cooking. Add 2 tbsp. spoons of salt and mix well.
Pour the garlic and salt into containers (200 g will be needed for a liter jar). The end result should be beautiful white-green layers, even show them in photos!
If you add salt as the last layer, the twist will last longer.
