A question about a recipe: Grilled Lamb Chops with Green Garlic Chimichurri and Mashed Sweet Potatoes

I have a question about the ingredient "stems of green garlic" on the recipe "Grilled Lamb Chops with Green Garlic Chimichurri and Mashed Sweet Potatoes" from aargersi.

What is this and where do I find it??

Yes, the green tops. Chives would work well too -- I'd use a little more of them to compensate for the fact that they're smaller.

by scallion stems do you mean the green tops? Could I use chives??

Green garlic, or young garlic, comes out in the springtime -- this time of year, you could substitute scallion stems.
