If you can find it at your local farmers' market, green garlic, an early stage in the plant's development, is a special springtime treat. Otherwise, regular garlic will do just fine.

• 1 stalk green garlic, chopped or 2 large cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
• 1 large jalapeno, stemmed and roughly chopped
