what we usually get are younger than these (because the bulbs are not as defined) so it is mostly green. We usually cook this sauted with shrimps, radish and sotanghon, simply called Ginisang bawang :)

Thanks for the links MM! Should try this hardneck.

It’s a big bonus to read the comments section of these previous posts too!

My mom sautéed it with shrimps and add sotanghon. She used the juice from pounded shrimp heads to flavor the broth.

Thanks for all these wonderful ideas for uses of young garlic, I would never have known! Gej, see this post for the difference between hardneck and soft neck garlic.

Here in Laguna, we have a dish called Tinadtad. It is basically Sinigang using beef cut in small cubes (like in menudo). The vegetables added to it are just those young garlics, both the bulb and the green leaves and labanos.
Another dish is sautéed Kamias cut in round slices with small shrimps (hipon yapyap) and young garlic (bawang na mura) with a some sotanghon. The dish is a little soupy and the sotanghon is only in small amount.

Hi BettyQ

Recently moved here in Mill Creek, WA last 2013. I’m regular reader of Market Manila and mostly enjoys your comments. Last year was my first spring/summer and I enjoyed my Dahlias and other flowering perennial plants. One of my greatest wishes is to meet MM and you. Hopefully when I am fit to travel to Canada, I would love to meet you. =)
I have also sister in Marysville, WA and a brother up there in Vancouver.

BettyQ, I am planting the trombocino seeds you gave me. Last year, it didn’t do well with the Texas Heat.

They sell bottled pickle garlics here, just not sure if from young ones. Have not tried yet. Yeah I read about the green tops being edible. I was curious, so a month ago I planted some garlics that started having shoots. I wonder if mine will be ok to eat (greens).

How about paired with some good miso, like what Nancy Singleton Hachisu did? :D
