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.
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.)
They are great for hard cheese and nutmeg too.
I want that on a T Shirt
I bet OP is a vampire
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.
Please, I do need this recipe. For reasons.
Please, tell us more.
Share?
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.
Rage bait

That’s your problem. Rotating garlic needs a lower heat than a torch for a longer time.
Love me some rotated garlic
I’m leaving it
Or a torch for a very long time
Yeah, of you can back it away from the garlic enough. Otherwise it’s too hot.
My new motto is: there’s no such thing as too much cooked garlic.
I learned this lesson with hummus
Yes. Think of raw garlic like a spice but cooked garlic like a vegetable. Same thing works for onions!
Let it sit overnight in the fridge (if you didn’t already eat it all). It will be milder tomorrow.
But then you’d need to add more garlic!
Make another small batch and don’t add garlic. Dilute it out :)

Bull shit.
Make another small batch and add 2x garlic.
The best advice is always in the comments
4 cloves or 4 heads? 4 cloves sounds like nothing…
You’re so wrong that I went and got a big spoonful of toum to eat by itself while I write this.

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.
Wait I always use a fuckton of raw garlic in my hummus and it’s fuckin delicious
one mans trash is another ones treasure
Reminds me of the first time I put too much garlic salt in my tuna salad. I could taste it for days 😂
It’s not to late, cook it a little more and the garlic flavor will become mild.
how is that possible when you can just eat roasted garlic straight
