Elephant Garlic is really a stem leek rather than a true garlic but producing massive bulbs approximately 10cm (4) in diameter. The large cloves have a milder taste than conventional garlic, making it suitable for a wide choice of culinary uses. Try roasting elephant garlic and spreading on to crusty bread, or add the cloves to mashed potato.
