I'd never had garlic spears before, but now that I have tried them, I want them every day. Garlic meets asparagus. Need I say more?
I chopped the ends off and washed the spears. Eaten raw, they are spicy like raw garlic. I sauteed the whole spears in butter and olive oil until the flavor mellowed a bit and they were bright green. I added pepper and lemon juice and devoured them. They're at the farmer's market now, which is awesome. I bet they would be great chopped up over a pasta. I cut one up into very thin slices and put it into a turkey burger, which was very good also. Have any of you had these before? What did you do with them?

Just had garlic spears for the first time and they are delicious. I'm going to try them sauteed in olive oil with minced shallots and lemon and then tossing them in with some pasta and cheese
