Elephant Garlic by Christopher Ranch
- Unlike many garlics, elephant garlic does not have to be harvested or divided each year but can be ignored and left in the ground without much risk of rotting..
- Like regular garlic, elephant garlic can be roasted whole on the grill or baked in the oven, and then used as a spread with butter on toast..
- Fresh elephant garlic contains mostly moisture and foams up like boiling potatoes, whether on the stove or in a glass dish in the oven..
- Drying in the basement for a few months reduces the moisture content, and also bring out a fuller flavor..
