Sometimes I go to Sam’s and get the big pack of garlic. This time I didn’t use it all, so these two heads sprouted.
Now they are growing in the garden. It won’t be long before I can just pull some when I need garlic.
These chives jumped to garden path two years ago to grow in the mulch. They are ready to be used on baked potatoes, or in recipes.
Here is a recipe that uses both garlic and chives, and is a wonderful dip for raw vegetables.
Dip
1 cup homemade olive-oil mayo
Blend: 1 whole egg
2 tsp wine vinegar
1 tsp dry mustard
Add in drops: 1 cup oil (this can be done in a blender or food processor)
Add: 1 cup sour cream
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 T chopped capers
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1 t Tabasco
1/2 cup chopped chives
I tried using my hand blender for the mayo. It made nice, thick mayonnaise.
And the garlic is growing!
