Lovely recipe for fresh spring garlic buds.
Trim any dry bases and tips off the garlic bud stems. If the buds are large (over 1/2 inch), split them lengthwise, leaving both halves attached to the stem.
Cook garlic buds in boiling water until almost crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
Mix lemon juice and soy sauce and set aside.
Melt butter with sesame oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic buds and saute until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
Toss cooked garlic buds in soy-lemon mix to coat.
Season with pepper and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
The fresh, asparagus-like garlic buds have a lovely mild flavor that comes through nicely with the bright lemon-soy dressing.
