Elephant garlic is that huge onion size garlic that you may have seen next to the regular garlic in your grocery store or farmers market. It’s actually not really a garlic but belongs to the onion family. I often use it in recipes that call for a mild garlic flavor or salads. It has a sweeter, more subtle flavor that goes great with fresh spring veggies. Try this original recipe I created for this delicious gem of a herb.
