What can be prepared from garlic arrows. How to cook garlic arrows

Garlic arrows are a delicacy that many summer residents simply throw away. This happens most often due to ignorance of what benefits are hidden in them for the body, and how deliciously they can be prepared. Nutritionists are absolutely sure that garlic arrows contain the same amount of useful substances as their cloves.

The difference between the tops and roots is only in the amount of essential oils, so the green arrows do not have such a strong aroma. So you shouldn’t waste such a valuable product; it’s better to cook something tasty and healthy from it, or think about how to prepare garlic arrows for the winter.

Fried

This method of preparing garlic arrows can easily be called the simplest, but the finished dish turns out very tasty with a pleasant mushroom aroma. You can pamper yourself and your family with this delicacy not only during the season, but also in winter. To do this, you just need to freeze the prepared arrows, and then remove them from the freezer and cook.

This recipe will not have clear proportions and you will need:

young garlic shoots;
vegetable oil for frying;
salt and spices to taste.

Cooking sequence:

The picked young garlic arrows must first be washed and sorted, cutting off the thin tip. There should be no more than one and a half centimeters left on top of the unopened rudiment of the inflorescence; Overripe arrows, of course, will be as fragrant as young ones, but after cooking they will remain tough, so you need to choose only those whose inflorescence thickness is the same as that of the arrow itself .
Now the prepared “delicacy” needs to be cut into pieces 5 to 7 cm long;
You need to pour a little oil into the bottom of a frying pan with high walls, just enough so that nothing sticks to the pan during cooking. Heat the oil thoroughly and place the arrows in it;
Immediately add salt to the contents of the pan. You can add a little ground black pepper or other spices, or you can leave nothing in – it will still be delicious;
At the beginning of frying, the arrows will release their juice and simmer in it until soft. Then, when all the liquid gradually evaporates, they will be fried. At this stage, you can make the fire stronger, then the dish can be cooked until ready in 10 minutes;
Fried garlic arrows can be served not only as a separate treat, but also as a side dish for meat or fish dishes.

Stewed with vegetables

If you add some vegetables to the ingredients of the previous recipe, which are sure to be found in the kitchen of any housewife, you can prepare a delicious snack.

So, you need to take:

50 g (one bunch) garlic arrows;
70 g carrots;
70 g onions;
70 g sweet bell pepper;
70 g ripe tomatoes;
40-50 ml vegetable oil;
30 ml soy sauce;
salt, spices (ground black pepper and coriander, chili pepper) and herbs to taste.

Cooking method:

Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan, turn on the heat and leave it to heat up. Meanwhile, peel the onion and chop it in any way;
When the oil is thoroughly heated, add the tear vegetable to it and cook until transparent. In between stirring the onions in the pan, peel the carrots and pass through a coarse grater. She will next go to the already transparent onion;
The five minutes that the carrots and onions will fry together should be spent chopping the pepper into strips and garlic arrows into five-centimeter pieces. Both of these vegetables are added to the pan at the same time;
When the garlic arrows darken and become soft, it’s the turn of the tomatoes. They need to be cut into large slices. Those who don't like tomato skins can scald the tomatoes with boiling water and remove them;
Lastly, soy sauce and spices are added. You shouldn’t add salt without testing it after adding soy sauce, since it is also salty. Serve stewed garlic arrows, garnished with chopped fresh herbs.

Garlic and pork stew

Green pipes of garlic can add interesting spicy notes to such an ordinary second dish as pork stew.

There is no need to talk about this dish for a long time, you just need to cook it at least once, and for this you will need:

600-700 g pork pulp;
50-70 g green garlic arrows;
100 g onions;
100 g carrots;
70 g bell pepper;
200 ml of fresh tomato puree or tomatoes in their own juice;
60-75 ml vegetable oil;
salt and spices to taste.

Prepare the stew step by step:

For cooking, be sure to take a cauldron or frying pan with a thick bottom and high sides. Pour oil into this vessel and put it on the fire until it warms up to boiling point;
Cut the pork into small pieces. The best option is cubes with sides two to three centimeters. Transfer the meat to boiling oil and fry, stirring vigorously, until the released meat juice has completely evaporated;
Then it’s the turn of vegetables. Chopped, they are added to the cauldron at five-minute intervals in the following sequence: onions, carrots, peppers and garlic arrows. The onion is chopped into quarter rings, the carrots are passed through a Korean vegetable grater, the pepper is cut into strips, and the garlic pipes are cut into pieces of two centimeters;
When the garlic arrows darken and become soft, pour tomato puree into the meat and vegetables, add salt and spices. Simmer everything a little under the lid, and a hearty pork stew with a subtle aroma of garlic will be ready.

Snack pasta made from garlic arrows

This is the easiest and fastest way to prepare green garlic pipes for the winter.

To prepare such a preparation you will need a minimum of time and ingredients. All just 20-30 minutes and:

20 ml vegetable oil.

Preparation of pasta:

The raw materials need to be thoroughly washed, dried on a towel (there is absolutely no need for excess moisture) and cut into pieces of arbitrary length to make it easier to chop them later;
Further preparation can be carried out in two ways. The first is to put all the ingredients in a blender bowl and grind to a paste. The second method: pass the garlic arrows through a meat grinder with a fine sieve, and then add salt, oil to the resulting mass and stir everything;
Store the aromatic garlic paste of a beautiful emerald color in the refrigerator; for longer storage, freeze it. You can do this by placing it in a freezer bag or ice cube tray to freeze it in portions.

From such a snack paste you can prepare a delicious spread for bread by mixing it with salted lard or cottage cheese passed through a meat grinder. It can also be added to soups, meat and fish dishes as a seasoning to add flavor.

Garlic shoots are undeservedly ignored by gardeners and are almost always sent to the trash. This happens due to the fact that summer residents are not well informed about what vitamins and microelements are stored in this ingredient and how they can be used in the process of creating dishes.

Experts who have studied the composition of garlic bulbs claim that the amount of nutrients and vitamins is not inferior to the garlic bulbs themselves.

The most important difference between the arrows and the heads is only a smaller amount of essential oils, which give garlic such a pungent smell.

For these reasons, it is important to know what can be prepared from garlic arrows and how to use this element in canning for the winter is not only tasty, but also healthy.

Fried garlic arrows: recipe

Fried garlic tops are a very tasty and flavorful dish. In addition to the fact that the dish is tasty, its preparation should not be difficult, since it does not take too much time and does not require a large number of ingredients.

To prepare the dish you will need the following products:

Fresh garlic arrows;
A bottle of vegetable oil;
Salt pepper.

Algorithm:

Sort through the fresh arrows, wash and remove the finest components. Why should you choose only fresh products? Of course, overripe arrows practically do not differ in their characteristics from fresh greens, but after cooking you will feel the difference: ripe ones are tougher. Arrows whose thickness is equal to the inflorescence are most suitable for consumption.
Cut the washed and cleaned arrows into even strips five to seven centimeters long.
Prepare a frying pan with high sides and add vegetable oil to it. There should be enough oil, otherwise the delicacy will stick to the bottom of the pan, and this will cause you unnecessary difficulties and spoil the overall taste. Add the main ingredient to the pan.
Fourth step - add salt, pepper and other spices you like to taste. Of course, this is not necessary: if you skip this step, the dish will still turn out tasty and aromatic due to the original taste of the main ingredient.
After adding to the prepared frying pan, the arrows will begin to release juice and stew in it. After the ingredient softens, excess moisture will evaporate under the influence of temperature and it will begin to fry. When the garlic tops begin to fry, you can turn up the heat: then the dish will be ready in ten to fifteen minutes.
Place the dish on a plate. The result of cooking can be eaten separately or as a side dish for meat or fish dishes. After we have decided on the recipe for making fried garlic arrows, you can familiarize yourself with other ways to use this ingredient.

Stewing garlic arrows

If you add a few vegetables to the frying process, you can get a wonderful, tasty and satisfying dish.

In addition to the amazing taste, this dish includes many vegetables, and therefore vitamins.

Here is a list of required ingredients:

Garlic arrows - 1 bunch;
Several carrots - 70 grams;
Onions - 70 grams;
Bulgarian pepper - 70 grams;
Tomato - 70 grams;
A bottle of vegetable oil - 60 ml;
Soy sauce - 30 milliliters;
Salt, seasoning and your favorite herbs.

Cooking algorithm:

Prepare a frying pan with wide sides and pour the required amount of vegetable oil into it. Place the dishes on the fire. Don't waste your time: while the pan is heating up, peel the onions and chop them as you like;
After chopping the onion, add it to the frying pan.. Do not forget to stir the onion, otherwise it may burn on the pan and distort the taste of the entire dish. While frying the onions, prepare the carrots: peel them and grate them. After cooking the onions, add the carrots to the pan. The co-frying process can take about five minutes.
While the carrot and onion duo is roasting, wash and trim the fine bits from the garlic tops. Next, cut them in the same way as indicated in the previous algorithm. Peel and cut the bell pepper into strips. Add prepared ingredients to the pan.
Coarsely chop the tomatoes. Add them to the pan after the main ingredient has softened and changed color. If you don't like the tomato peel, remove it after pouring boiling water over the tomato.
The dish is almost ready, but you need to enhance its taste. Place soy sauce, salt, pepper and other seasonings to taste in the pan. It is important to note that you should not salt the dish immediately after adding the sauce, as it has a rather salty taste. Otherwise, you risk oversalting your food. Serve the stew, garnishing it with herbs.
