Elephant garlic is probably more closely related to the leek than to the normal variety; their bulbs are very large and can weigh over 1lbs! A single clove of elephant garlic can be as large as a whole bulb of ordinary garlic, so use this vegetable in your recipes with discretion. As far as flavor is concerned, elephant garlic is to garlic what leeks are to onions: much less intense and sweeter flavor, often described as “garlic for people who don’t like garlic.”
