List of recipes
Garlic arrows are a very short-term product, which really needs to be prepared in the little over two weeks when they appear in the garden and on sale. It is recommended to remove young shoots of garlic not only to make aromatic and very tasty main courses or salads, but also to improve the future harvest. The arrows must be cut off when they are just beginning to curl. These savory green shoots with a distinct aroma can enhance the flavor of any dish they are added to.
There are many options for how to prepare garlic arrows: they are fried, stewed, added to a salad or soup. Since the shoots used in cooking have the so-called milky ripeness, their heat treatment time is very short - they become suitable for consumption within 7-10 minutes. Some recipes for preparing this vegetable contain information that they must first be doused with boiling water to remove the bitterness, but you don’t have to do this. Of the mandatory actions, only cutting off the seed part from the arrows should be highlighted.
Dishes with garlic arrows are very easy to prepare and have a spicy and unique taste.
You can cook delicious dishes from garlic shoots not only in season, but also prepare them for the winter: salt, freeze or pickle. The taste of pickled arrows is a little reminiscent of wild garlic.

To prepare healthy dishes with garlic arrows in winter, you can prepare them for future use, namely, pickle them. The simplest option for pickling is to sprinkle the cut arrows with salt and lightly mash them with your hands, and then transfer them to a jar, then they can be added to a stew or salad.

Another recipe for lovers of spicy food with a pronounced taste of spicy spices. This salad is also prepared with meat, but in this case we suggest combining garlic arrows with chicken. It’s very convenient that this hearty, flavorful dish is prepared in a matter of minutes.
You need to take the following products:

- Place the prepared vegetables and chicken on a dish and pour over the hot sauce, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and let simmer for a quarter of an hour before serving.
The spiciness of the dish can be changed; instead of cayenne pepper, it is permissible to use a mixture of peppers or seasoning for Korean dishes. This recipe is universal, since by changing the cooking technology, from the same ingredients you can prepare not a salad, but a full-fledged second course: for this, chicken and arrows should be poured with sauce and simmered until the ingredients are soft.

How to cook garlic arrows? First, they need to be processed. The greens are thoroughly washed in warm water, and then dried and the seed heads are cut off. After this, they begin to prepare other vegetables. The onions are peeled and chopped into thin half rings, and the carrots are grated on a Korean grater. After this, granulated sugar and salt are added to the last component, and then thoroughly knead it with your hands and leave in a warm place for ¼ hour.
Heat treatment
Dishes made from garlic arrows always turn out aromatic and tasty. To make a spicy Korean-style snack, you should heat-treat the greens and onions. To do this, heat the oil very hot in a frying pan, then lay out the onion half rings and fry for several minutes until golden brown. Next, the vegetables are taken out and left in a plate, and garlic arrows are placed in the bowl.
Cook the greens over medium heat until they release their aroma and are thoroughly browned.
Forming the appetizer and serving it to the table
Dishes from garlic arrows are formed quite simply. After cooling the fried vegetables, add them to the carrots and mix well. After that, they are flavored with various spices and soy sauce.
After placing the snack in bowls, it is cooled in the refrigerator for several minutes. Next, the spicy Korean dish is sprinkled with sesame seeds and served.
Preparing a meat lunch with aromatic herbs
Garlic arrows and meat go perfectly together. Having prepared such a dish at home, it can be served not only as a full meal, but also as a side dish.
So, to make tasty meat with herbs, we will need:
- sunflower oil - 50 ml;
- freshly picked garlic arrows - 150 g;
- large sweet onion - 2 pcs.;
- sea salt, ground pepper - use to taste;
- drinking water - 1 glass;
- wheat flour - one and a half dessert spoons;
- young beef - 500 g.
Preparation of products
Before preparing the garlic arrows, you should process all the products. Young beef is thoroughly washed and dried. After this, it is chopped into cubes or sticks. Next, peel the onions. It is cut into half rings.
As for the garlic arrows, they are rinsed in a colander, shaken vigorously, the seed pod is removed and chopped into pieces 2-3 centimeters long.
Cooking process
Dishes made from garlic arrows do not take very long to make. First, you need to heat-treat the meat product. Pieces of beef are placed in a frying pan with boiling vegetable oil and thoroughly fried until the color changes. After this, add onion half rings and cook for a few more minutes.
Having carried out the described steps, the ingredients are seasoned with spices to taste and then filled with water. After bringing the ingredients to a boil, cover them with a lid. In this composition, the products are stewed for about 40 minutes.
After the specified time, garlic arrows are added to the meat. With them, the dish is simmered for another 20 minutes until the beef is completely soft.
At the very end, drinking water is added to the frying pan, which is mixed with wheat flour in advance. To prevent flour lumps from appearing in the goulash, the liquid is poured through a fine strainer.
Serve to the table
A tasty and aromatic meat dish with garlic arrows goes perfectly with any side dish. This kind of goulash is good served at the table along with boiled pasta, mashed potatoes, buckwheat porridge, etc. However, there are cooks who prefer to serve such a dish at the table as a full meal, adding only a slice of bread to it.
Preparing garlic arrows for the winter
Fresh garlic arrows can be used not only to prepare various second and first courses or savory snacks, but also to pickle them for the winter. We will describe how this process is carried out at home in the materials of this article. For this we need:
- fresh garlic (that is, young arrows) - about 1 kg;
- beet sugar - 50 g;
- boiled water - approximately 1 liter;
- coarse table salt - 50 g;
- table vinegar (6%) - 3 large spoons;
- various spices (bay leaves, black peppercorns, red hot pepper, etc.) - add at your discretion.
Processing greens
Pickled garlic arrows can be consumed not just as a snack, but also added to various dishes, including goulash, soups, etc.
To make such a preparation for the winter, you should carefully process the greens. Garlic arrows are sorted, washed thoroughly and dried on a towel. After this, the seed pod is cut off from them and chopped into 4 cm long pieces.
Preparing the marinade
Garlic arrows are prepared quite simply for the winter. After processing the greens, prepare a spicy marinade. To do this, add beet sugar and table salt to boiling water. Mix the components until they are completely dissolved. After this, the marinade is removed from the stove and table vinegar is added to it.
Harvesting greens
To prepare pickled garlic arrows, you need to prepare jars. Containers for such snacks should be small in size. They are washed well and sterilized over steam. Tin or self-screwing lids are also boiled.
After the container is prepared, begin to form the snack. Place bay leaves, peppercorns and hot red pepper into jars. Next, the containers are filled with garlic arrows.
Fill the greens with aromatic marinade and keep them in this form for ¼ hour. Next, the brine is drained again and boiled. Having refilled the jars with boiling marinade, they are immediately rolled up.
Before storing the pickled garlic arrows in the cellar or pantry, they should be cooled at room temperature (2 days).
It is advisable to consume such an unusual and very tasty snack after 1-2 months. At the same time, the entire marinade is drained from the greens, and oil (any vegetable) is added to it and mixed thoroughly.
If you think that the pickled garlic arrows are a bit harsh, then they can be blanched first. To do this, place the processed and washed greens in a pan of boiling water and cook for 3 minutes.
After the specified time has passed, the garlic arrows are removed, shaken vigorously and cooled. After this, they are used in exactly the same way as described just above.
Let's sum it up
As you can see, garlic arrows can be used to prepare various dishes and snacks. By combining such greens with meat or other vegetables, you will get a very tasty and aromatic dish that absolutely everyone in your household will appreciate.
