Just like a lot of you (yes you dear reader ) when we graduate from college dorm cooking and begin serious cooking involving the oven, stove, soup pots, stir fry pans, grill, broiler more often than the microwave, we all soon learn another important lesson in cooking and/or life in that matter : Garlic doesn’t come from a jar !
Buy the real stuff -- whole cloves in tightly-packed bulbs, it has to be -- and we’ve never go back. Mincing takes just a couple of minutes, or simply skip chopping altogether and roast the cloves whole.
This versatile ingredient improves the flavor of countless dishes. Slow-roast it with some olive oil until soft and it's delicious all by itself...or spread on crusty bread … or Garlic Butter Fish … or Linguine Alfredo. Some of us in Rosemary Bites even have it raw :) it’s one ingredient that we cannot live without.
Just don't forget to brush your teeth or pop a mint after devouring.

How do you like your Garlic ? minced ? roasted ? raw ?
