Default A Guide on How to Roast Garlic Cloves

For a very long period of time the garlic has been considered a bad
aliment. Its smell especially was considered to be offensive. Most
recipes avoided using it. And it was considered that garlic was a
condiment for the poor people. But times have changed. Now the garlic
is considered highly important for the success of a meal. Most meat
meals are prepared with garlic. It's a good thing to know how to roast
garlic cloves. A garlic usually has between 10 and 12 garlic loves.
First step is to peel the garlic. Take the bulb and a sharp knife.
Then gently separate the cloves. Each clove is covered by a white pink
skin. Remove the skin gently with the sharp knife.
The number of cloves you should use in the recipe vary a lot. Don't
take everything by the book. Try to appreciate. This is because the
sizes vary a lot. There are cloves in all sizes. So just choose what
suits the recipe best.
Another quick tip in how to roast garlic cloves is about the way you
choose the garlic. Don't go for the large bulbs. They may seem great
but actually they have no taste. The small bulbs keep more flavor in
themselves, ready to be passed to the meat meal.
Now how to roast garlic cloves once they are washed, separated and
peeled? It's very easy. Choose as many as you consider. And put them
in the pan with oil. The pan should be well washed so it doesn't
preserve other smells. Also try to use a high quality oil when
roasting. Once placed in the pan, the garlic cloves should be roasted
at low fire. This way you preserve the flavor and the great taste.
Once roasted in oil, you can use the garlic cloves for any kind of
dish. Meat meals are great with some garlic on. And another quick
advice. Better place the garlic at the end, cooked separately then
from the beginning and cooked the same way as the rest of the dish.
