Keep in mind, garlic is not a spice, it's a vegetable. You should eat lots of vegetables and less of whatever got you the man-boobs. It is also a strong antioxidant with lots of beneficial properties. I buy it fresh by the bag.. Try this: 1. Cut the top off each head of garlic, exposing the cloves within. 2. Place the garlic heads in the baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. 3. Pour in about 1 1/2 tablespoons water for each head of garlic. (Option: You can also use white wine, for a winey-infused garlic.) 4. Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid. 5. Microwave on 50% power in periods of 3 minutes. 6. Check the garlic after each 3-minute period, poking it with a fork to see how tender the garlic cloves are. (Be careful when removing the lid, as hot steam will billow out.) 7. Continue microwaving. After 6 minutes have elapsed, cook in increments of 1 minute each, until the garlic is very soft and can be pierced easily with a fork. Squeeze garlic out of the cloves and use in a recipe. Or turbo-boost your garlic by giving it a quick roast! The garlic cloves will squeeze right out. This is a great way to make garlic mashed potatoes. I don't have a problem peeling raw garlic but I do agree roasting it makes it better ... much like chilies. I crush garlic into a dry pan and roast it a bit add a chunk of butter and cook it down to add to things like potatoes. If you start with that and a bundle of tied up thyme, then when it has sauteed well add cut up red potatoes and cover with water you got you something. Cook covered on low heat until the potatoes are soft tossing a few times, then uncover, remove the thyme bundle, increase heat and toss until the remaining liquid is boiled away. You end up with creamy red potatoes. The nice thing about the microwave method above is how easy the garlic is to get out of the peel once zapped. Just squeeze the head and each bulb just squishes out. |
