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.

Must be fake news. Impossible.

I come here for cooking tips, not lies.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Microplane graters are amazing for garlic.

(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.)

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

They are great for hard cheese and nutmeg too.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I want that on a T Shirt

I bet OP is a vampire

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 61 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

[–] wfh@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Please, I do need this recipe. For reasons.

[–] jeeva@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Please, tell us more.

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.

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

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Love me some rotated garlic

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm leaving it

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or a torch for a very long time

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, of you can back it away from the garlic enough. Otherwise it's too hot.

[–] Brokkr@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago

But then you'd need to add more garlic!

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My new motto is: there's no such thing as too much cooked garlic.

I learned this lesson with hummus

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yes. Think of raw garlic like a spice but cooked garlic like a vegetable. Same thing works for onions!

[–] Just__FF@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Make another small batch and don't add garlic. Dilute it out :)

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bull shit.

Make another small batch and add 2x garlic.

[–] ExhaleSmile@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

The best advice is always in the comments

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

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

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I fucked up a batch of hummus because I got lazy and used raw garlic instead of roasting it . Good lord. I thought I loved garlic.

[–] wfh@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Wait I always use a fuckton of raw garlic in my hummus and it's fuckin delicious

[–] grue@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're so wrong that I went and got a big spoonful of toum to eat by itself while I write this.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

one mans trash is another ones treasure

[–] barkingspiders 5 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of the first time I put too much garlic salt in my tuna salad. I could taste it for days 😂

[–] magiccupcake@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's not to late, cook it a little more and the garlic flavor will become mild.

[–] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

how is that possible when you can just eat roasted garlic straight

[–] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

We joke that you can never too much garlic, and I love garlic, but I've legit made a dish before that had too much of it lol. It was dan dan noodles with raw garlic in the sauce. You know it's too much when the house smells like garlic and the tear-inducing spiciness is coming not from the chili oil, but the garlic itself.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

As a Korean, what is this "too much garlic" you speak of?
