roasting or baking garlic and shallots Hi Chanda

August 23, 2005

I don't see the elephant garlic often, seems like it's not around as much as it

was a few years ago. I do love it also.

Do you like shallots? Hugs back, D

yeah the elephant garlic is much more mild, but soooo gooooood, and it's huge.

Re: roasting or baking garlic

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

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.
