Dry-toasting Garlic
From greekgirrrl 15 years ago
- 5 minutes to make
- Serves 8
Toasting garlic cloves in a dry skillet tames their harsh flavor and loosens the skin for easy peeling. The garlic does not become soft and creamy like garlic roasted in the oven. As Jimrug1 pointed out to me, toasting it this way makes the garlic perfect for fresh salsas. Read more Right on, Jimbo! See less
Ingredients
- unpeeled garlic cloves shopping list
How to make it
- Place the unpeeled garlic cloves in a dry skillet over medium-high heat.
- Toast, shaking the pan occasionally until the skins are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to cutting board and let cool.
- When cooled, the once clingy skins peel off easily.
- The garlic can now be sliced, chopped or minced as you normally would, but it will have far less bite!
