Elephant Garlic belongs to the onion genus and is in the same family as leeks; however, it is more similar to garlic in appearance and taste. It tends to be milder and slightly sweeter than regular garlic and is often used when aiming for a more subtle flavor. Salum, in Dallas, highlights elephant garlic by roasting it and marrying it with Texas goat cheese and olive oil. Philadelphia's Ro-Zu restaurant supplements fluke with an osso buco-like sauce, yuzu vinaigrette, and crispy elephant garlic. Many would frown upon a deviation from regular garlic, but there's nothing wrong with a little variety.
