Notes

Almost any meal would be well complemented by a mushroom sauté, especially when cooking with Ontario garlic! Using locally grown, in-season ingredients, try this simple summer dish with your next meal. Note: In late summer, when garlic greens and scapes are no longer in season, many varieties of fresh Ontario garlic are available. Substitute the greens or scapes with an equal quantity of leeks (white and light green parts only) and three or four minced garlic cloves.
