Just received great looking elephant garlic cloves from Monty Koludrovic from Bondi Icebergs Dining room. Monty tells us he has been using this beautiful garlic sourced through the local Bondi markets from the NSW north coast as garlic chips, showing well on the plate. In the first photo you can see how healthy the garlic looks. We have offered to try caramelising these cloves which is an experiment for us, as we usually work with our cold climate varieties like Rocambole. Elephant garlic is a warmer climate variety and success will depend on the extent of the natural sugars in the cloves. In this photo we have included a fresh hen egg to give you a sense of proportion. If this works what huge cloves will be produced! Stay posted we will update our outcome. This may turn out to be a boutique product we do just for Bondi Icebergs!
