Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 You're so welcome Gayle. Is it the white or purple garlic garlic? Doesn't matter, I just like the purple a teeny bit better. To me the elephant garlic isn't quite as strong. Shhhhhhhhh! Don't tell Chanda, she will get mad at me......LOL I've been baking garlic foeever, I worked with an Egyptian man and he and his wife used to invite me for dinner all the time, she taught me how to do this and stuff grape leaves (I still can't do those correctly). A few years later baked garlic became popular. You can change the flavor to go along with your meal. If you are making Italian food, sprinkle the garlic with oregano, basil, Italian seasoning, etc. If it's Mexican food then sprinkle red pepper flakes and cumin over the top. My sister sprinkles curry powder over her garlic bulbs. Don't laugh at this one, being a Swede I grate cardamom pods, ginger and cinnamon on my own special bulb, yaw yaw I do. It's really endless...............Donna glpveg4life wrote: Thank you thank you thank you. I bought a 3 lbs bag of garlic on Friday so I figure baking up a head or two would be a go way to go.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 oh yeah, like Donna said, it's out of this world on bread, or in recipes. yumz - glpveg4life Tuesday, August 23, 2005 10:34 PM Re: roasting or baking garlic Thank you thank you thank you.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 sorry, I heard ya! LOL yeah the elephant garlic is much more mild, but soooo gooooood, and it's huge.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hi Donna: Thanks. I believe they are the white bulbs. My daughter and I love garlic so it seemed to make sense to buy the bag. My husband and son do not like garlic as much. I never even thought about adding seasonings like that to the head of garlic. Gayle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
