Question

I brought alot of extra garlic cloves and Im leaving the country in a few weeks. What can I do with it. Dont want to throw them away?
I love garlic.

Answer 1

you can saute them with olive oil and make a paste with the blender and freeze, will last for a long time.

Answer 2

You can take the individual cloves and plant them. That will produce more garlic. Why would you want even more garlic you may ask. Well it is actually a wonderful thing to grow and make gifts from. When you get your extra garlic growing and ready to harvest you can roast it in the oven and put it in some nice olive oil in small jars and give it as gifts. It lasts a long time and your friends and family will appreciate it.

Answer 3

You know about roasting garlic w/olive oil wrapped in foil untill soft and mellow, right? I love to keep this stuff on hand and add to; omelets, pizza, spaghetti, etc. Chicken with 1,000 cloves of garlic has same result except with chicken. Oh and you won't probably use as many cloves as that.

Answer 4

If you slow roast it with chicken or roast beef, it will lose the strong pungency and develop a deliciously sweet taste. You can use quite a bit in one recipe this way, several whole garlic.
