The allium fragrance of Garlic Chives brings a welcome extra dimension to this luxurious sandwich spread.

Mix mayonnaise with a little horseradish sauce, some Dijon mustard and crème fraîche. Snip in some Garlic Chives, add some finely diced celery and season with a little sea salt (or celery salt) and freshly ground black pepper.
Roughly chop some hard-boiled eggs and stir them through the mayo mix until fully incorporated. Sandwich between thick slices of white bloomer bread and serve with pickles or crunchy radishes.

Though they’re closely related, garlic chives are subtly different to the regular chives familiar to European cooks. Garlic chives are taller (growing to 60cm, rather than 50cm), their flowers are white rather than lilac, and – of course – they carry a stronger allium flavour.
