Serving Suggestions:

• As a half-share member, I’m quite jealous of our “B” week friends who get to try elephant garlic this week. Looking back at old CSA website posts, we haven’t had elephant garlic in a delivery since 2017 so it’s been awhile and honestly I don’t remember what it looks like let alone how to prepare it. John shared some info in his update and I have compiled a few links to help you as well:
  • Ideas for preparing elephant garlic from Will Cook For Friends
  • Wikipedia had more helpful information than I was expecting
  • Since the cloves are so big, Cooking On The Weekends suggests slicing them thick and grilling them — very interesting!
  • If cooking your elephant garlic is a weekend project, try cooking it using the confit method. Here’s an easy to follow recipe from Kelly’s Clean Kitchen
