Commence the week of Green Garlic (I mentioned Fresh Garlic in last weeks recipes... what we're using is actually called green garlic. It looks a lot like green onions). To start we made these yummy BLTs with a gourmet twist. Quite good. The Brioche bread is fabulous, and definitely makes the sandwiches that much better. Worth it if you can find it. Gourmet BLTs With Green Garlic Aioli Makes 6 sandwiches. Recipe from Epicurious. If you can't find green garlic, just use a regular clove of dried garlic and blanch it to take away some of the bite (to blanch, put the peeled clove in boiling water for 1-2 minutes). Ingredients Aioli: 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons chopped green garlic or 1 regular garlic clove, blanched 1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel or coarse kosher salt 3/4 cup mayonnaise, divided 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice Sandwiches: 2 (3-ounce) packages thinly sliced pancetta (Italian bacon; about 30 slices) 12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices brioche or egg bread, lightly toasted
