Garlic caper

Posted on | November 12, 2009 |No Comments

It’s called red rose garlic for a good reason. The stuff is really pretty and it smells great. The cloves are big, succulent and mild. You can use it raw in salads and dressings, chop it into salsa, flash it in stir-fries and it won’t take over the dish. Of course, I love it roasted in an oven until it’s silky and sweet.

Find red rose garlic and an enormous array of these beautiful bulbs (several different varieties) at the St. Paul Farmers market. It’s a good time to think about growing your own. If there’s a variety you like, plant one of the cloves now, as you would a flower bulb, sunny spot, and next year you’ll be harvesting your own.
