Garlic cloves under salt

Salt-preserved garlic sprouts are a seasonal herbal accompaniment with a gentle garlic character and a distinct salty emphasis. Salt beautifully preserves their aroma, so use them as a small but effective addition to dishes.

Add them to salads, dips, potatoes, eggs, fish, pasta, risottos, vegetables, or cold platters. Use them similarly to capers or as a fine herb sprinkle when you want to add more character to a dish.

As they are salty, taste the dish first and only add more salt if needed.
