Have lots of this growing wild on my place. The only recipe we tried with the bulb was a stir fry but we got put off because the flavor was too strong. Are there recipes to take the strong taste off it!? Thanks.

I recommended sauteeing or roasting it slowly in butter or olive oil with a dash of balsamic vinegar - this caramelises it and makes it taste sweeter. You can add a dash of brown sugar too.
