We wash the garlic arrows, remove the tails of the arrows and cut them into 3 cm lengths. Next, heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and put the chopped arrows there. Lightly fry for about 5 minutes, add sesame oil, salt and yangnyom. Mix thoroughly. We wait for the dish to cool down and serve it on the table.

Frozen arrows for the winter.
Cut into pieces 1-1.5 cm long, place in portions in polyethylene bags, and tie. First, the bags are cooled in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, then placed in the freezer. In winter you can stew them just like fresh ones.

Omelette with garlic arrows

There are no proportions in the recipe. The omelette mixture is prepared in the same way as for a regular omelette - eggs are beaten with milk (or water) and salt. Garlic arrows are cut into small pieces (cut off the noses), fried in vegetable oil until the color changes and becomes soft (the color becomes dark green). If desired, you can sprinkle them with pepper. The finished garlic arrows are poured with the omelette mixture, a small fire is turned on and the omelette is brought to readiness under the lid. You can make it in different ways, for example, fry the arrows together with carrots or in a tomato.

In addition to the garlic arrows themselves, you will need vegetable oil, tomato juice and salt.

The finished arrows taste very much like spicy mushrooms.

Fried garlic arrows

Again, a recipe without proportions - everything in it is very simple. Wash the arrows, cut off the seed part, cut into small pieces. Place in heated vegetable oil and immediately add some salt.

This takes about ten minutes, no more. Can be served as a side dish for meat and fish.

Chicken liver with garlic arrows

Ingredients: 700 grams of chicken liver, 2 onions, 3 sweet bell peppers, a bunch of garlic arrows, salt and pepper to taste, vegetable oil, fresh herbs.

We cut the onion and bell pepper into half rings, the garlic arrows into small pieces. Fry the onion in vegetable oil until it becomes transparent, add the garlic arrows, fry for 3 minutes. Add some salt and place the bell pepper in the frying pan. After a couple of minutes, add the chicken liver to the vegetables (it can be cut into pieces), add salt and pepper to taste, and fry over medium heat until tender. The readiness of the liver can be determined by the juice flowing out - it should be transparent. If desired, at the end of cooking you can season the dish with sour cream - it will be even tastier. Don't forget that chicken liver cooks very quickly, and try not to miss the moment when it becomes soft - immediately remove the pan from the heat. If you overcook the liver, it will turn out dry and tough.

Garlic arrows with pork ribs

Ingredients: 600 grams of ribs, 2 onions, a quarter of a lemon, a bunch of garlic arrows, a pinch of basil, oregano and marjoram, salt to taste, vegetable oil.

It tastes like meat with mushrooms.

Korean garlic salad

Ingredients: 3 bunches of garlic arrows, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 tsp. vinegar (6 or 9%), 0.5 tsp. sugar, 1 tbsp. l. seasonings for Korean carrots, salt or soy sauce, vegetable oil, several bay leaves.

Finely break the bay leaves. Cut the garlic arrows into pieces 4-6 cm long. Heat the oil, fry the arrows until soft. Add sugar, bay leaf, seasoning for Korean carrots, and pour in vinegar. Salt or add soy sauce. Be sure to taste so as not to oversalt! Warm up the salad, turn the heat to low and wait until the sauce thickens. Cool, add garlic, passed through a garlic press. The salad needs to sit, so make it ahead of time. It goes perfectly with new potatoes and meat, and it will also be good as an appetizer.

Don't wait for the garlic arrows to harden - in this form they are no longer suitable for food. They will give off the aroma, but the taste will be fibrous and tough. The best time to pick is when they are medium thick, dark green in color with a thin skin. After cutting, they can lie for no more than a week - then the arrows turn yellow and become rough.




















Surely for many people our article will be interesting, since few people know that very tasty and original dishes can be prepared from garlic arrows. At the beginning of summer, garlic produces flower stalks, which gardeners must remove in order to obtain a successful harvest in the form of large heads.

Most people just throw them in the trash. We propose using green shoots in cooking and provide a selection of recipes for what can be prepared from garlic shoots.

How to cook garlic arrows

This is the above-ground part of the plant, which consists of long green “tubes”. They appear in June. After reaching a length of 10-15 cm, they must be broken off so that all the nutrients go to the development of garlic heads.

You can prepare a huge number of tasty and healthy dishes from the green part of garlic. You can make a sauce from them, add them to a salad, fry them, boil them in soup, marinate, prepare them in a special way in Korean, Chinese, or ferment them.


Peduncles grow in only 2 weeks. Of course, their shelf life is very short, but they can be prepared for future use - canned or frozen, prepared into oil, so that during the winter period, characterized by frequent epidemics of viral infections, they can be consumed as a vitamin product and medicinal product.

Garlic arrows improve digestion, intestinal activity, and prevent the development of atherosclerosis, hypertension, and infectious diseases. They can even kill dysentery bacillus, staphylococcus, and various pathogenic fungi.

Did you know? Garlic is one of the oldest plants, which was cultivated approximately 6 thousand years ago. Presumably, this was first done in Central Asia. And from this area the plant spread to the ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Romans. Garlic was brought to the territory of modern Russia by the Byzantines.

How and what to cook from garlic arrows - recipes for delicious dishes

At the beginning of summer, winter garlic produces tall flower stalks - garlic shoots, which must be broken off. But what to do with them next is up to everyone to decide for themselves. Some people consider them a useless product, while others are happy to prepare seasonal delicacies from garlic arrows. Very often arrows are thrown away for the simple reason that they do not know how to find a use for them. We heard something, read something somewhere, and maybe even tried it at a party, but the recipe was forgotten over time. Don’t rush to throw away the arrows; you can use them to prepare many healthy and tasty dishes. We offer you a selection of interesting recipes in which garlic arrows will be the main or additional ingredient.

Recipes garlic arrow dishes

Omelette with garlic arrows

There are no proportions in the recipe. The omelette mixture is prepared in the same way as for a regular omelette - eggs are beaten with milk (or water) and salt. Garlic arrows are cut into small pieces (cut off the noses), fried in vegetable oil until the color changes and becomes soft (the color becomes dark green). If desired, you can sprinkle them with pepper. The finished garlic arrows are poured with the omelette mixture, a small fire is turned on and the omelette is brought to readiness under the lid. You can do it in different ways, for example, fry the arrows together with carrots or in a tomato.

Stewed garlic arrows

In addition to the garlic arrows themselves, you will need vegetable oil, tomato juice and salt. Fry the arrows in the same way as in the previous recipe; when they become soft, add salt to taste and pour in tomato juice. Turn the heat on low and simmer with the lid on until done. The finished arrows taste very much like spicy mushrooms.

Fried garlic arrows

Again, a recipe without proportions - everything is very simple in it. Wash the arrows, cut off the seed part, cut into small pieces. Place in heated vegetable oil and immediately add some salt. The arrows will release juice in which they will stew. When the juice has evaporated and the arrows become soft, you can increase the heat and fry the arrows until tender. This takes about ten minutes, no more. Can be served as a side dish for meat and fish.

Chicken liver with garlic arrows

Ingredients: 700 grams of chicken liver, 2 onions, 3 sweet bell peppers, a bunch of garlic arrows, salt and pepper to taste, vegetable oil, fresh herbs.

We cut the onion and bell pepper into half rings, the garlic arrows into small pieces. Fry the onion in vegetable oil until it becomes transparent, add the garlic arrows, fry for 3 minutes. Add some salt and place the bell pepper in the frying pan. After a couple of minutes, add the chicken liver to the vegetables (it can be cut into pieces), add salt and pepper to taste, and fry over medium heat until tender. The readiness of the liver can be determined by the juice flowing out - it should be transparent. If desired, at the end of cooking you can season the dish with sour cream - it will be even tastier. Don't forget that chicken liver cooks very quickly, and try not to miss the moment when it becomes soft - immediately remove the pan from the heat. If you overcook the liver, it will turn out dry and tough.

Garlic arrows with pork ribs

Ingredients: 600 grams of ribs, 2 onions, a quarter of a lemon, a bunch of garlic arrows, a pinch of basil, oregano and marjoram, salt to taste, vegetable oil.

Cut the ribs into portions, add salt and sprinkle with lemon juice. Fry in vegetable oil until golden brown over low heat. Add spices, onion rings, fry for five minutes. Pour in a glass of water, cover with a lid, simmer for about an hour (until the meat is soft). Cut the garlic arrows into small pieces, add to the meat and simmer for another 15-20 minutes. It tastes like meat with mushrooms.

Korean garlic salad

Ingredients: 3 bunches of garlic arrows, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 tsp. vinegar (6 or 9%), 0.5 tsp. sugar, 1 tbsp. l. seasonings for Korean carrots, salt or soy sauce, vegetable oil, several bay leaves.

Finely break the bay leaves. Cut the garlic arrows into pieces 4-6 cm long. Heat the oil, fry the arrows until soft. Add sugar, bay leaf, seasoning for Korean carrots, and pour in vinegar. Salt or add soy sauce. Be sure to taste so as not to oversalt! Warm up the salad, turn the heat to low and wait until the sauce thickens. Cool, add garlic, passed through a garlic press. The salad needs to sit, so make it ahead of time. It goes perfectly with new potatoes and meat, and it will also be good as an appetizer.

Don't wait for the garlic arrows to harden - in this form they are no longer suitable for food. They will give off the aroma, but the taste will be fibrous and tough. The best time to pick is when they are medium thick, dark green in color with a thin skin. After cutting, they can lie for no more than a week - then the arrows turn yellow and become rough.

Many summer residents, without regret, throw away a very valuable product from their plot - garlic shoots! But this is very in vain! After all, garlic arrows are an excellent ingredient for preparing your own, appetizing and satisfying treat. A good housewife never wastes anything; even garlic shoots have a use.

After all, they are very healthy, containing a large amount of trace elements, minerals and vitamins.

  2. Pour a little vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat well. Add the arrows cut into pieces and fry, stirring, for 10-15 minutes. Do not add salt right away, as salt draws water from the food, making it too dry and tough.
  3. When the color of the arrows changes to ocher or brown, you can add salt, season with your favorite spices and aromatic herbs.
  4. Add mayonnaise, simmer for 5 minutes. You can then move the pan to the oven and let it sit for another 5 minutes until the arrows become crispy.
