Someone gave me a pot of wild garlic chives and they are flowering,?

what are they nice with and can you eat them anytime?

Someone gave me a pot of wild garlic chives and they are flowering,?
they are often used to make dumplings with a combination of egg, shrimp and pork.





The flowers are also edible, and make a strikingly colorful garnish for any dish.
Reply:I've found that they don't cooked as well as normal garlic, so tent to sprinkle them in dish just before serving instead of garlic.





Like any chive, they are wonderful raw, in salads, on sandwiches, cold rice or pasta dishes, etc.





The little flowers are also edible, just like the flowers you can with normal chives. They look lovely in a salad, and provide excellent contrast in colour.





They grow easily, and should last you for years, and they'll be ready to eat most of the year. Do you have a garden where you could replant them? Alternatively put them in a larger pot, as keeping them in a small pot will stunt their growth.
Reply:Garlic is good in alot of meals. I put it in my homemade salsa, hamburger meat for tacos, burros, stir frys, and in my sauteed onions and mushrooms. My Grandma uses fresh garlic in just about everything. Garlic is very good for you as it helps the heart.

look under the garlic flower section
Reply:It's almost like a cross between chives and garlic. I would use it the same way you use chives.
