Garlic tops are the young above-ground parts of garlic plants. They can be cooked similarly to asparagus: sauteed, steamed, boiled, etc. However, I believe that the very best way to eat them is like french fries; fried with mushrooms and then dipped in homemade mayonnaise.
1 lb. garlic tops
1/2 lb. morel mushrooms (or any other mushroom, if morels are not available)
2 tbsp butter
1 recipe homemade mayonnaise
Loosely chop garlic tops and remove any inedible dried parts. Heat butter over medium high heat in large frying pan with cover. When butter bubbles, add garlic tops. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, or until softened. Add mushrooms. Continue to cook, covered, for another 5 minutes. Uncover, and finish cooking by sauteing until garlic tops begin to brown and get crispy. Serve hot, as finger food, dipping in mayonnaise as necessary.
