A simple snack that takes advantage of the season's first garlic, which is harvested before the bulbs form. Delicious hot or cold.

To make this slightly sweet dish such a delicious departure from other melon soups, Kinch briefly cooks vibrant Cavaillon and Charentais melons. Feel free to use any of your favorite summer melons, including honeydews or cantaloupes.

Kinch visited the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen to teach us how to make these savory, deep-fried little bites stuffed with sautéed greens, which he changes throughout the seasons depending on what's growing at the farm.
