allotment

Lifted the elephant garlic this weekend at the /allotment, and strung them up under the canopy of a tree to dry a few days before storing. Pretty decent haul this year!

Check out the size of these bad boiz! 😼🧄

Yeeeeee! Elephant garlic are massive, but their flavour is actually softer than normie garlic. Perfect for cooking with!

It’s actually just regular garlic, aged into a  caramelized buttery spread. Perfect with any meat or veggie dish, especially beef ribs 🥩 You could even try it with a few of your giant bulbs if you’re looking for a super unique flavor

Thanks! No, we haven't tried black garlic but I'd be interested to, for sure! If I ever run across any for sale I might pick up a few bulbs to give it a go!

They turned out well! Such a massive root ball.

I meant to ask, have you tried black garlic? My mind was blown first time I had it.

Anything you'd normally use garlic to cook with! The flavour is softer than regular garlic so it doesn't overpower the flavours.

This is the first time I've seen one this big.
What cooking is it used for?

Elephant garlic are known for their massive size and soft flavour! If you're a garlic grower, I highly recommend trying to grow some of these bad boiz!

Tankz frenpai! I will be sure to take a shot when we open one up! Nothing too insane though, they literally just look like garlic... but... huge! Each clove can be around the size of 1 whole garlic.

Gald to hear it!!! We have an ok year. Lost about 25% to wet here especially at harvest time. Better luck next year for us. Garlic has always been somthing we wanted to do, but didn't. You and @plantsnft inspired us to just do it and we are so happy we did!

Thanks Fairy! Yeah it was a great season for them, none rotten too! Usually one or two just don't make it. I think the heat near the end of their growing period really helped to dry and keep them.

That's our garlic stash complete for the year!
