You can grill them or oven bake them, then you peel the outer layer off.
The greens are excellent cooked like any other green. Ever eat Swiss
chard? That's just a beet green that doesn't make the big root. Just
don't say anything to Barb about eating beets. <VBG>

Could they be garlic chives? I have those in my herb garden and I just
wash them, blot them off on a paper towel and chop them into any dish I
want to have the garlic flavor in. Even garlic greens are pretty good
chopped into scrambled eggs, omelette's, etc.
