I finally did it: ruined a dish with too much garlic
I finally did it: ruined a dish with too much garlic
So I put 4 cloves in a small batch of salsa. I did roast them with a butane torch and thought that would make the flavor a little milder, nope.
As a Korean, what is this "too much garlic" you speak of?

(And ginger and wasabi, zesting citrus…)(onions, too. If your a masochist.)
(also in most stores, fresh whole cloves cost less and are better quality - and much more potent- than other options.)

Fucking lies. My mom has a special recipe for garlic and shallot soup that will leave you literally farting garlic vapors and it's both delicious and could use more garlic.

It wasn't the amount of garlic; it was likely burnt and bitter from being roasted with a blowtorch instead of low and slow in the oven.

I learned this lesson with hummus

That's your problem. Rotating garlic needs a lower heat than a torch for a longer time.

Or a torch for a very long time
2 0 ReplyYeah, of you can back it away from the garlic enough. Otherwise it's too hot.

Let it sit overnight in the fridge (if you didn't already eat it all). It will be milder tomorrow.

4 cloves or 4 heads? 4 cloves sounds like nothing...
