These are a treasure! I find them at farmers' markets in the early summer. This recipe is my favorite preparation, steamed and simple. I serve them as a warm side dish, but I always cook extra so I have leftovers in the refrigerator for cold snacks and salads. They have the texture of green beans with a light and fresh garlic flavor. Alternative preparations include sauted in olive oil or added to soups and stews.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb early garlic greens
salt and pepper

Directions

1
Trim garlic greens by cutting the top (pointy end) to within 1/2" of bud. There will be 6"-8" of green below bud.
2
Greens may be cut into any preferred length as you would with green beans. (I like to leave them long because they are beautiful and fun.).
3
Steam in steamer basket over boiling water approximately 8 minutes. Time may vary depending on size of green, so test at 5 minutes and adjust time accordingly.
4
Remove from steamer and place in serving bowl.
5
Toss with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Serve warm or cold.
