I thought I was using green garlic, but now I realized it was actually garlic chives! Hmm.

Havent tried yet, but planning on making a pesto with garlic chives, basil, olive oil, lemon juice. Should be yummy on bread or pasta.

Update: Made the pesto as above and added pecans to that, served with fettuccine noodles. Sprinkled romano/parmesan cheese on top. (pic)
