Today I will tell you how to deliciously prepare the favorite seasonal dish of summer residents - fried garlic arrows. For those who are not familiar with this miracle, I will say that they resemble mushrooms.
The recipe is beautiful in its simplicity: wash the shoots, add salt and fry until tender. At the end of cooking, you can add homemade tomato paste and simmer a little, or you can pour in beaten eggs and prepare a very tasty omelette for breakfast. These will be completely independent dishes - fried garlic arrows with tomato and eggs.
Important: use young shoots or, as they are also called, “pipes” of garlic that have not had time to harden, otherwise the dish will turn out tough. You can only get them from grandmothers at the market. The best season is late spring-early summer.

Quite an easy side dish. There is a heavier one, but no less tasty.
Recipe
Step 1: Chop the garlic arrows
Wash the garlic pipes thoroughly. Let's dry them from moisture so that the oil doesn't sizzle when frying the arrows. Now you need to cut off the inedible part along with the white bud. Cut the arrows into 4 centimeter lengths, as indicated in the recipe.
Step 2: Mix two types of oil
Pour some refined vegetable oil into the frying pan. In order not to overwhelm the taste of the main ingredient, we will use purified, odorless oil.
To highlight the taste of garlic, add a small portion of butter. Please note that it must be fresh and have a fat content of 82 percent or higher. It is better not to use margarine or spread.
Step 3: Place the ingredients in the pan
Place the frying pan on low heat. Let the butter melt and mix with the vegetable oil. Then carefully place the chopped shoots into the resulting mixture.
Step 4: Salt and pepper the ingredients
So that the shoots release juice immediately, add a little salt. For piquancy, season everything with black pepper, preferably freshly ground. Add a pinch of Italian herbs. This spice blend includes oregano, basil, cumin and rosemary. If you wish, you can do without them for this recipe.
Step 5: Add Soy Sauce
I decided to get creative with the garlic arrows and add a spoonful of soy sauce to the recipe. Keep in mind that it is also salty, so don’t add too much salt. I liked the result. Fried garlic arrows ended up becoming even tastier and more original. If you're not a fan of this sauce, cook without it.
Step 6: Fry until done
Stirring with a spatula, fry the ingredients until cooked. It won't take long, just 5 minutes. The fire must be small, otherwise everything will burn.
Step 7: Submission
We will serve fried garlic shoots as an appetizer for meat, poultry or sausages. They can be frozen for the winter and then added to various other dishes.
Bon appetit!
And salting it is not very difficult. The main thing is to strictly follow all the requirements of the recipe and use only fresh ingredients.

Pickled young garlic with arrows: step-by-step recipe
This tasty and aromatic appetizer is ideal for a festive feast. Moreover, it can not only be consumed while drinking alcoholic beverages, but also used in the process of preparing various first and second courses.
Since preparing a product like arrow for winter is easy and simple. The preparation made is unlikely to be preserved until winter, since it is eaten quite quickly.
What products do we need to preserve such an ingredient as garlic? These aromatic greens should be marinated using the following set of ingredients:
Processing ingredients (fresh garlic arrows)
Salting and marinating is quite simple. Fresh greens are thoroughly washed under strong pressure of water, and then shaken in a colander and proceed to cutting. Chop garlic using chopsticks 3-5 centimeters long.
After processing the arrows, they are blanched. To do this, the greens are dipped in very boiling water and kept in it for about two minutes. Finally, they are thrown into a sieve and allowed to drain.
Preparing a flavorful marinade
To make a marinade for a flavorful snack, pour one liter of drinking water into a large saucepan. Then it is brought to a boil, add table salt and coarse sugar. After boiling the liquid for about 5 minutes, remove it from the heat and immediately add table vinegar.
The process of forming a snack and the process of rolling it up
Now you know what ingredients are required to bring the presented recipe to life. How to make garlic arrows (pickle them)? After the marinade is ready, put the blanched greens into half-liter glass jars, after placing bay leaves, hot red pepper and allspice on the bottom.
Having filled the containers with arrows, they are immediately filled with hot marinade. After this, place one large spoon of hot butter into each jar.
Having carried out the described steps, the containers are immediately screwed on with metal lids.
Turning the jars upside down, they are left in this position for exactly one day. After this, the pickled garlic is put into the cellar or basement. They are stored at a temperature of 3-7 degrees for six months.
Quickly salt garlic arrows for the winter
Now you know how garlic arrows are processed. You also learned how to marinate this product. However, some cooks prefer to salt it. To do this, they use the following set of ingredients:
- fresh garlic, that is, its young shoots - approximately 1 kg;
- boiled water for brine - about 1 liter;
- coarse table salt - approximately 50 g;
- coarse white sugar - approximately 60 g;
- natural table vinegar (6%) - about 80 ml;
- black peppercorns and dried dill umbrellas - use to taste.
Method for preparing salted arrows
Fans of garlic snacks are familiar with the manufacturer Vital. Garlic arrows (pickled) under this brand have a special taste and aroma. However, we recommend making this dish yourself. To do this, fresh greens are thoroughly washed, chopped and blanched. While the liquid is draining from the boiled arrows, begin preparing the brine. Clean water is boiled over high heat, and then coarse table salt, table vinegar and white sugar are added.
After the brine is ready, put pots and umbrellas of dried dill into sterilized 0.5-liter jars. Then blanched arrows are placed in them, which are immediately poured with previously prepared boiling water.
Having rolled up all the containers with metal lids, they are cooled and sent to the refrigerator. This snack can be consumed 5-7 days after preparation.
A simple and quick way to pickle fresh garlic arrows
If you do not want to prepare garlic arrows for the winter, then we suggest simply pickling them fresh. To do this, wash the greens thoroughly, dry them with paper towels and cut them into 3-5 centimeters long.
Having prepared the arrows, place them in a bowl, salt them with coarse salt and mix thoroughly. Then the product is distributed into half-liter jars and crushed thoroughly with a masher.
After filling the containers, they are closed with ordinary plastic lids and left at room temperature for 12-16 hours. After the arrows give their juice, they are put into the refrigerator. It is stored in it for no more than two months.
It should be noted that this product is not used as a snack, as it is too salty. Although some cooks still use it with bread.
This preparation is good for adding to goulash (during heat treatment), as well as other first or second courses.
I never cease to be convinced of this, that in cooking, everything that is simple always amazes, amazes and brings pleasure from eating. This is exactly the kind of snack dish I want to invite you to try. Moreover, now is the ripening season for the main ingredient - garlic pipes.
Never before had I even suspected that such a delicious dish could be prepared from garlic pipes. It can be called both a snack dish and a salad. It doesn’t matter what name the food gets, it won’t affect the taste in any way.
And the taste of the dish is amazing. Of course, it is inappropriate to place fried garlic pipes on the holiday table, but for an everyday family dinner, they are what you need. And, if you are going on a picnic in nature, then this dish is worth taking with you. You won't find a better snack.

Garlic arrows are a delicacy that many summer residents simply throw away. This happens most often due to ignorance of what benefits are hidden in them for the body, and how deliciously they can be prepared. Nutritionists are absolutely sure that garlic arrows contain the same amount of useful substances as their cloves.
The difference between the tops and roots is only in the amount of essential oils, so the green arrows do not have such a strong aroma. So you shouldn’t waste such a valuable product; it’s better to cook something tasty and healthy from it, or think about how to prepare garlic arrows for the winter.
Fried
This method of preparing garlic arrows can easily be called the simplest, but the finished dish turns out very tasty with a pleasant mushroom aroma. You can pamper yourself and your family with this delicacy not only during the season, but also in winter. To do this, you just need to freeze the prepared arrows, and then remove them from the freezer and cook.
This recipe will not have clear proportions and you will need:
- young garlic shoots;
- vegetable oil for frying;
- salt and spices to taste.
Cooking sequence:
- The picked young garlic arrows must first be washed and sorted, cutting off the thin tip. There should be no more than one and a half centimeters left on top of the unopened rudiment of the inflorescence; Overripe arrows, of course, will be as fragrant as young ones, but after cooking they will remain tough, so you need to choose only those whose inflorescence thickness is the same as that of the arrow itself .
- Now the prepared “delicacy” needs to be cut into pieces 5 to 7 cm long;
- You need to pour a little oil into the bottom of a frying pan with high walls, just enough so that nothing sticks to the pan during cooking. Heat the oil thoroughly and place the arrows in it;
- Immediately add salt to the contents of the pan. You can add a little ground black pepper or other spices, or you can leave nothing in – it will still be delicious;
- At the beginning of frying, the arrows will release their juice and simmer in it until soft. Then, when all the liquid gradually evaporates, they will be fried. At this stage, you can make the fire stronger, then the dish can be cooked until ready in 10 minutes;
- Fried garlic arrows can be served not only as a separate treat, but also as a side dish for meat or fish dishes.
Stewed with vegetables
If you add some vegetables to the ingredients of the previous recipe, which are sure to be found in the kitchen of any housewife, you can prepare a delicious snack.
So, you need to take:
- 50 g (one bunch) garlic arrows;
- 70 g carrots;
- 70 g onions;
- 70 g sweet bell pepper;
- 70 g ripe tomatoes;
- 40-50 ml vegetable oil;
- 30 ml soy sauce;
- salt, spices (ground black pepper and coriander, chili pepper) and herbs to taste.
Cooking method:
- Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan, turn on the heat and leave it to heat up. Meanwhile, peel the onion and chop it in any way;
- When the oil is thoroughly heated, add the tear vegetable to it and cook until transparent. In between stirring the onions in the pan, peel the carrots and pass through a coarse grater. She will next go to the already transparent onion;
- The five minutes that the carrots and onions will fry together should be spent chopping the pepper into strips and garlic arrows into five-centimeter pieces. Both of these vegetables are added to the pan at the same time;
- When the garlic arrows darken and become soft, it’s the turn of the tomatoes. They need to be cut into large slices. Those who don't like tomato skins can scald the tomatoes with boiling water and remove them;
- Lastly, soy sauce and spices are added. You shouldn’t add salt without testing it after adding soy sauce, since it is also salty. Serve stewed garlic arrows, garnished with chopped fresh herbs.
Garlic and pork stew
Green pipes of garlic can add interesting spicy notes to such an ordinary second dish as pork stew.
There is no need to talk about this dish for a long time, you just need to cook it at least once, and for this you will need:

- 100 g carrots;
- 70 g bell pepper;
- 200 ml of fresh tomato puree or tomatoes in their own juice;

- Cut the pork into small pieces. The best option is cubes with sides two to three centimeters. Transfer the meat to boiling oil and fry, stirring vigorously, until the released meat juice has completely evaporated;
- Then it’s the turn of vegetables. Chopped, they are added to the cauldron at five-minute intervals in the following sequence: onions, carrots, peppers and garlic arrows. The onion is chopped into quarter rings, the carrots are passed through a Korean vegetable grater, the pepper is cut into strips, and the garlic pipes are cut into pieces of two centimeters;
- When the garlic arrows darken and become soft, pour tomato puree into the meat and vegetables, add salt and spices. Simmer everything a little under the lid, and a hearty pork stew with a subtle aroma of garlic will be ready.
