Soft Boiled Garlic Cloves
Healthy, Handy, Tasty & Versatile
If you buy already peeled garlic cloves in bulk, get in the habit of boiling a bunch and keeping them in the fridge, since they have so many uses. Just give them a rinse and drop them in a pot of boiling water for 15 minutes, then store in a container.
These are a great alternative to minced garlic (which is often very watery) or garlic powder (which often explodes in a dust storm all over your shirt). Also, when soft, they are so easy to chop into smaller pieces and won’t go flying across your countertop every time your knife slices into them.
They work well in sauces, such as my Creamy Sauce, or as simple snacks, just laying on top of marinated baked tofu as shown below.
Or, make toothpick mini skewers, stacking olives, garlic, cherry tomatoes and whatever else will fit on a toothpick when you are looking for snacky things to eat.
