Roasted garlic
I had these 5 heads of garlic staring at me, so I decided to try and
roast them. Sliced them in half, drizzled them with a little olive oil, and baked at 350 for 45 minutes. The tops were hard and crusty and a tad on the burnt side. The insides were soft and gooshy and ohsofragrant. Now what do i do with them<g>? maxine in ri |

The idea was to get some cheese on the fork, and then some garlic. It was to die for. Try it with that cheese. |

The most basic garlic bread there is. You can go further by adding any or all of the following, to your taste: olive oil, sun-dried tomato slices, goat cheese, capers, kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, chopped tomatoes and basil, parmesan. Mash them into butter and add parsley & parmesan for a serious bread spread that briols beautifully. Toss them in with pasta and sauteed veggies. Or just eat em like candy =) They're that good. |

Garlic bread! Use the garlic bread to make sandwiches. I just had a nice ham & cheese garlic bread sandwich yesterday Jill |

When they are done you can pop the cloves out and spread them on crackers or bread. I can't do it myself. One of my dogs if plagued with sebaceous cysts and I am forever popping them out and getting a pasty ooze out of them. It has sort of turned me off from pasty foods that get squeezed out. :-) |

I drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with Maldon Sea Salt and apply fresh cracked black pepper. Wrap them in foil and bake in the oven. Uses??? *Lots*!!! I sploosh them all out (I usually do about 9-12 heads at a time), and put in a sterilized jar with a layer of EVOO on top. Ready to use whenever you want it :-) Spread on a pizza base before you apply your sauce. Butter some bread that has been toasted on one side under the griller, (butter the uncooked side) spread the garlic on, top with cheese, and put under the griller again........ Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :-) Cut into 'fingers' and serve. -- Peter Lucas Brisbane Australia 'Enjoy today, it was paid for by a veteran' http://www.beccycole.com/albums/vide...ter_girl.shtml |

Another good use is to puree the cloves with some olive oil, and them add them in when you make mashed potatoes.

Iirc, the vet's diagnosis was blowfly larvae. And yes, the rabbit lived thru it. It was a debilitated rescue animal. -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

Sorry, I do too much vet work to get grossed out by this. :-) I LOVE roasted garlic and will continue loving it! I snip the top off of the clove and squeeze that delicious pasty stuff out. It's also good just mixed into other recipes. Sauces, ground meats, even omelets. -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

You know the crap that's in fish? The various pollutants? It's in your salt, too. If you buy it because of the taste, something's wrong with your cooking. Salt shouldn't be the predominant flavor, unless you're making potato chips. |

You have forgotten how many bloody posts I've made that said I DON'T COOK WITH SALT!!! And I've been picked on for it. Salt is added, to taste, at the table. And I happen to favor "real salt" brand salt. Unless you have tried it, shut up. The only exception is the sausage I've been making lately. I use Real Salt for that and in 1/2 to 1/4th the amount the recipes suggest. -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

One of the things that keeps coming out, is that if you add salt during cooking (and it doesn't have to be much) it helps the flavors to bloom. It doesn't mean that something is salty. It just brings everything together. One noted cook/chef said if you add salt afterwards, it just tastes salty, instead of just rounding out flavors and heightening them, as it does when it is added during the cooking process. You actually end up using less salt if you add it during the cooking process. Christine |

You actually end > up using less salt if you add it during the cooking process. > > Christine The problem I've had with that is that the taste for salt is too individual... It's why it's very hard for us to eat out any more! The cooks used tooooooo damned much salt! Especially at chain restaurants. Any dish at Red Lobster or Olive Garden for instance tastes like I'm eating from a salt shaker. There is no food taste. It's pure sodium chloride Dad agrees. It's also one major reason I'm learning to make my own sausage. For quite some time now, when I buy commercial sausage (like HEB's breakfast sausage), I purchase two lbs. of fresh ground meat to mix it with to cut the salt to 1/3rd. It's the only way it tastes worth a damn. Maybe I've gotten too sensitive eating a low sodium diet, but, DAMN! -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

Give me examples of three recipes in which you can taste a difference between sea salt and standar Morton's or whatever. By "recipe", I mean it must be cooked, not sprinkled on the food at the table. |

If you really cannot taste the difference between "Real Salt" (which is not "just sea salt") and Mortons bitter crap with sodium silica aluminate", you need further palate training!

Whatever you get from sea salt is random. A crapshoot. The salinity of the ocean varies seasonally. There are local temperature inversions which may or may not churn up all sorts of crap from the bottom. If you want a pure product, buy canning salt and pulverize it with a mortar & pestle. |
