Freeze Option: Freeze sautéed garlic in ice cube trays with a bit of oil for easy use.
Variations:
Add a splash of lemon juice for a zesty twist.
Mix in roasted red pepper for a mild heat.
Use ghee instead of butter for a nutty richness.
Combine with caramelized onions for a deeper flavor base.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use pre-minced garlic in a jar?
A: You can, but it lacks the same flavor punch and health benefits of fresh garlic.
Q: Why wait 10 minutes after crushing garlic?
A: This resting time allows allicin to fully develop—giving you more flavor and more health perks.
Q: Why avoid high heat?
A: High heat burns garlic fast, turning it bitter. Low heat = sweet, golden garlic.
