I usually brown the garlic in the oil the recipe calls for, then remove the garlic. I add the oil with the other ingredients and proceed as normal, then add the garlic back in at the end of the recipe after the cooking time. It's an extra step, but I love garlic so I think it's worth it. And it adds a nice flavor to the oil for an extra dimension without the bitterness.<br /><br />As a side note, I am always suspicious of recipes that state "Add the (whatever, usually onions) and garlic to the pan" - it assures the garlic will be overcooked and bitter. What is wrong with some recipes these days?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712357474870560531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134384403689315687.post-88244015519255618272010-02-13T15:34:06.605-05:002010-02-13T15:34:06.605-05:00Dang!

I love when I have good, ripe avocados too. <br /><br />And banana bread is my favorite thing in the world.

Never had to worry about party food. On one hand, no boring game. On the other hand, no cool party food. I would have loved some wings instead of the rather pedestrian restaurant we went to. I ate the meal, took the photos, and though, "Meh. There really isn't that much to say about this place." <br /><br />I've been seeing a lot of posts about buffalo wings lately and I find the topic of the best way to cook them fascinating. My thought is, if it's greasy and covered in hot sauce, it's all good!The Short (dis)Order Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510572788683143569noreply@blogger.com
