"What the fuck is a garlic spear?" Your idiotic question tells me you have not been visiting your local farmer's market. For shame! Although I did not expect that you would have gone on your own accord, I am still disappointed. Find your local farmer's market and you will be amazed by the wide array of produce you miss out on by shopping at Grocery Outlet. Let's begin:
Garlic spears are actually the flower tops from elephant garlic. When consumed raw they have a very spicy, pepper-y flavor that grabs you by the balls and tells you to turn your head and cough. Although the taste is almost overwhelming it is a very pleasant burn.
They are very long so cut them in half before you put them in the fucking pan,
dumbass. I melted 2
tbl of butter and
sauteed these bad boys over medium heat for about 5 minutes. The longer you cook your garlic spears the less pepper-y they will be. In retrospect this was a little long because the spiciness became almost non-
existent and they ended up tasting more like asparagus or artichoke. I would give it three minutes and then remove them from the pan. Eat it.

Nice post :).
I would probably prefer these spears to, say, the Britney variety.
Crap, and I threw out about 5 dozen of these things because I thought they were too tough to do anything with. I diced up the more tender bottom parts and used them in stuff. I think I've got a couple of dozen left in the fridge.
I made a pesto with them too and something else I think. I remember the pesto being fantastic. Type "garlic spears" in the search box.
