Garlic Chives
(Allium tuberosum)
A hardy perennial plant, garlic chives (Chinese Chives, Nira) are commonly used as a herb in stir-fry cooking . The flat, dark green, grass-like leaves have a flavour somewhere between garlic and onion.
The purple or white pom-pom flowers of chives top aromatic stems in summer. The leaves are edible and have a mild onion flavor; the flowers can be used as garnishes. Plants grow in dense clumps to 2 feet high.
My all time favorite way to eat chives is on top of a baked potato with sour cream. In addition, I take the leaves and cut them into small pieces and place them in ice cube trays, fill with water and freeze.
A close relative of ordinary chives and used in just the same way to flavour cooking, garlic chives have flattened strappy leaves and a pleasantly garlicky taste, particularly when leaves are snipped off young.
Chives
The leaves of chives are used in all kinds of sauces and salads to lend a delicate onion flavor. Flat-leaved garlic chives combine the flavor of onion and garlic.
