It turned out that it was necessary to break off all the arrows as soon as they began to appear. As a result of this procedure, a large basin of young succulent shoots appears.

How to freeze garlic arrows for the winter

We cut off the upper part of the young shoots: the part where the color begins to form, and throw it away.

Wash the remaining thin and elastic shoots and cut them into pieces three to five centimeters long.

Place them in boiling water with added salt.

Boil for ten minutes and drain the boiling water. Leave in a convenient container until completely cooled. We pour the boiled shoots into plastic boxes.

If there are not enough boxes, you can use disposable bags. We close the boxes tightly with lids and tie the bags. To be on the safe side, when freezing, I always take two of them and put them one inside the other. Place the container filled with delicious and healthy garlic shoots in the freezer for storage.

In winter, such a preparation can be used very easily and quickly by preparing a hot snack from it. Simply fry an onion ring in butter until golden brown and add frozen arrows to it. Fry everything together a little, add sour cream, pepper, salt, if necessary. The dish is ready.

Now, knowing how to preserve garlic arrows for the winter and how you can use them, what to cook from them, I hope you will always have a bag or two of frozen garlic arrows on hand. Bon appetit!
