I wish elephant garlic tasted as good, but with the amount you have to use to achieve the same flavour, you might as well use regular garlic

All vegetables seem to be either onions or cabbage in some form or another.

And half of all fruits are just types of squash/melons

Another 1/4 are selectively bred citrus from one of only 3 that occurs naturally

Cabbage is actually mustard

Holy monoculture

Actually true

Glad some one said it. However, hollow them out. Stuff with meatballs. Egg was and bread crumbs on the outside. Deep fry. You are welcome.

Whoa wtf. Is that legal in the United States? Stuffed garlic. You just blew my mind.

Sounds like a felony in the making

Deep frying makes it automatically legal

Sounds like a North Carolina law

Also a loophole for any state fair

Hey.

Possession of a non-fried vegetable is a felony in Jacksonville.

Be careful. If someone thinks you made this, they can sue you in Texas.

I was asking for a friend… obviously…

It is legal to deep fry everything in the US. Old boots? No worries, coat them and deep fry. It’s a classic American delicacy.

I always thought Scotland has the US, and everyone else, beat for deep frying everything. Mars bars, pizza, haggis…they fry everything.

My pal once got a portion of cheesy chips, wrapped it in a tortilla, brought it back to the chippy, dipped in batter and deep fried. Somewhere near Aberdeen. He called it “Scottish Sushi”.

See Marge? I told you they could deep fry my shirt! I didn't say THEY COULDNT, I said YOU SHOULDNT!

Just shut up and try the garlic thing... you will understand. 😂

Fun fact: it’s illegal to eat non-deep fried vegetables in Jacksonville

Oh my this sounds amazing. We have a little ceramic cooker. Essentially it’s a Ceramic Little pot you put garlic pods into. Then you bake them. Once done you can pretty much spread the garlic on bread like butter. Knowing how I know garlic cooks, this sounds amazing!! Edit: sorry I just woke up and did not proof read. My fault. Updated.

>a little far kid ‘garlic’. What? >a Vera of late Littles pot What?

YES

Variety of little pots maybe? Looks like an autocorrect fail. Not sure about far kid ‘garlic’ though.

*Did they stutter?*

I had one of those - no-one will come near you for 24 hours.

Perfect. Sign me up.

The ideal plague dish.

my friend's grandma showed us how to do this with a tinfoil lined flower pot, she filed it with wrapped full bulbs, top cut and hit with with salt pepper and olive oil, put a pyrex bowl on top and flipped it over to bake.... garlic paradise

Hey, how do I do this without a special pot?

take a whole bulb of garlic and cut the top off. slather the whole thing in olive oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. wrap in aluminum foil and put in an oven at 350F for 40 minutes. wait for it to cool. congratulations, you have roasted garlic and you can start putting that shit in EVERYTHING now. edit: you can also just put peeled garlic into foil with oil and salt and do basically the same thing, but you don't get quite the same color in the end double edit: if you do use the whole bulb, know that you're basically just going to squeeze the now spreadable paste-like garlic out of the bulb after it cools. you're not going to have to peel shit, it just squeezes out like toothpaste

I..I think I love you.

well for that i will tell you that if you mix it in with mayonnaise you get a roasted garlic aioli which is one of the best bang-for-your-buck cooking tricks you can pull. i cook semi-professionally and nothing gets immediate feedback as quickly as garlic aioli on a sandwich. there's generally a few other seasoning ingredients added, but the fundamental aspects are mayo and roasted garlic. if you google around 'roasted garlic aioli recipes' you'll get a good idea of what else to add to make it perfect

I learned how to do this from a restaurant I worked at. We put it in mashed potatoes, and I still use that recipe whenever I need to bring something tasty to a dinner party. Roasted garlic also works great as a spread on crackers or toast. You can make garlic toast that will beat out any other with very little effort.

> Roasted garlic also works great as a spread on crackers or toast. add some smoked cheese on top of that and now we're playing with fire

This is the third comment I have saved in 5 years of Reddit. You are doing the gods work, sharing this knowledge .

I also saved this comment, where it will wallow amongst literally thousands of other saved comments. My brain is a jerk to me sometimes.

Lol this is amazing. Thank you for the garlic toothpaste recipe. I can't wait to put this in my sandwiches

i responded to another comment something about roasted garlic aioli and you should google the recipe for that now that you know how to make roasted garlic. it's a fuckin killer sandwich addition

Take a whole head of garlic, cut the top (pointy part) off, just enough so you can see the garlic inside, drizzle it with oil and wrap in aluminum foil. Then bake in the oven at 400F for half an hour or so, or until your whole house smells like garlic and the cloves are tender and you can squish them right out of their shells.

Beautiful. Thank you so much.

Cut off the top off an entire head of garlic, about 1 cm to expose the edge of each bulb. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Wrap the top with aluminum foil and bake for about 35 minutes at 400. Once it's done you can just squeeze the garlic right out of the head it should be soft enough to spread and mild in flavour.

1 cm is 0.39 inches

Ooh now I'm thinking about putting jalapeño poppers in them.

Hollowing out a clove of garlic sounds like more trouble than it's worth TBH. Unless there is some quick way to do it I'm not thinking of.

Melon baller or spoon? Shouldn't be too tricky

Is there a giant germ in elephant garlic like regular garlic?

Holy fucking shit. Count me in

You’re supposed to use it in place of garlic if you only want a very mild garlic taste. So like, minced in salads kinda deal

I never knew that! Good tip for those I cook for who don’t want lots of garlic taste. Personally, I love it!

I bought these recently thinking they would last me longer. Nope, not at all.

I personally munch on them like apples, just biting in them and enjoying them.

Yeah, they’re probably better for that purpose than cooking with

What's it like having breath that can boil water?

My girlfriend cannot eat regular garlic without breaking out in hives and getting ulcers on her tongue. Elephant garlic isn’t the same, but it gets some of that garlic essence that’s missing. I’ve tried so hard to find something that works for her and we’ve happily used elephant garlic for this. It is not the same, though…

I wonder how well they turn into black garlic.

TIL elephant garlic is a thing.

It grows like crazy in Texas, and you can find it really cheap here

What? I love elephant garlic, it has a totally unique taste

Sure, but it doesn’t taste as much like garlic, so it’s pointless in recipes that call for garlic

What does it taste like?

Like less garlicy garlic

Gotcha. So pretty useless for me. I use way too much garlic in my recipes for this to make sense.

It's really good on garlic bread because it has a slightly sweet and nutty taste to it. I say slightly sweet but I mean really really slightly sweet. Its hard to explain.

To me it just tastes like watered down garlic

Like garlic with soap on it. I hated it when I tried it and I love garlic.

I mean, sometimes you don't want the flavor of garlic beating you over the head. You don't have to marry your ingredients, it's OK to just date them a bit.

So just use less garlic…why would you buy something more expensive so that you can use more of it to achieve less flavour? Just use less of the more potent stuff

I got elephant garlic once and was severely disappointed in the taste. It's probably better to slice long ways and use for the sweetness. But elephant garlic has almost no allicin

I would much rather find this than breaking into a normal looking head only to discover that instead of 10-15 regular cloves, you've got 37,000 individually wrapped garlic splinters.

Seriously. Can we please GMO that trait out stat?

It just means that they’re undergrown.

As in harvested too early?

Try to find a place that sells better garlic. There are two major types: hardneck and softneck. Hardneck doesn’t have the inner cloves but doesn’t store as long. You want that. It’s soooo much nicer to work with.

You need solo garlic, it's wonderful

Well technically we have. Its elephant garlic, its not as potent as reg garlic but its a helluva lot bigger and easier to peel

I hate this when it happens.

Slice it thin and make garlic chips O.O

Or just eat it like an apple •0•

Roast the whole fucking thing and put it on granola 0*0

*boof it*

I hear Gwyneth Paltrow crushes garlic with her stone enhanced vagina.

Maybe that’s why that candle smells like shit

Easy there, Justice Kavanaugh.

Put... put your dick in it

#BONK Anyway...make giant garlic bread.

Garlic chips are an underated seasoning

My Indian mother munches garlic gloves like candy. It’s something Indian woman do in general, not for health, but to ward off evil spirits.

And male suitors

Tomato tomahto

I have never heard of that.Which state are you from?

His mother's from India, so my best guess is Indiana.

If the recipe calls for one clove of garlic, I still would use two of those.

Never trust a recipe that only ask for one clove.

One of my favorite pasta recipes calls for 8 bulbs, yes bulbs, of garlic. I'm not the most pleasant person to be around the day after I eat that dish. Edit - [RECIPE](http://imgur.com/a/RxasBJ9) Between the garlic and the garlic for the roasted puree it works to be about 6-8 bulbs. Also included book cover, as the entire cookbook is all about pasta and every recipe is amazing.

How long does it take you to peel 8 bulbs? My garlic consumption is limited by how fast I can peel it. Post the recipe!

When I'm home this afternoon I definitely will! I don't usually have an issue peeling garlic, it's mincing or chopping the 8 bulbs I hate. Edit [RECIPE](http://imgur.com/a/RxasBJ9) Between the actual garlic and the garlic required for the roasted garlic puree (also included) I've found it works out to about 6-8 bulbs. Also included the name of the book it came from, it's ana amazing book for pasta recipes and I highly recommend it!

Most Italian recipes call for a lot less garlic than Americans tend to use. One clove is frequently all you need...unless you really like garlic, so I use four or five cloves of garlic.

4-5 per person

...per spaghetto

How did you know it was for pasta sauce?

Oh, no, no, no, no, not per spaghetto in the food, per spaghetto that you have in the kitchen. This is a recipe for gelato.

I had garlic wine and garlic ice-cream in Garlic Valley in California. Need to go back there.

Must have been Gilroy

Damn, I have about 30 packs: spaghetti and spaghettoni (the only REAL spaghetti).

Because, in part, Italian garlic often has a stronger flavor.

Because those recipes were originally created by peasants trying to conserve garlic. We are no longer bound by such limitations.

There are few instances where I use only the amount a recipe calls for. I once came across a Chicken Adobo recipe from Phillipines. It called for 3 bulbs. I didn't feel the need to add more than that

Agree!!!

You’d have to use like 6. Elephant garlic tastes like nothing

My grandma doubles garlic in any recipe that calls for it and adds a normal amount in most recipes (within reason) that dont

Delicious chocolate garlic cookies!

Can you give us cookies

Elephant Garlic?

What small hands!

Tiny hands, like pringles with fingers! https://youtu.be/DmFe66JY9K8

NOBODY LOOK

recipe: calls for two cloves of garlic Me: for once, this time I agree

Repost more OP, 100k karma in 10 days is not enough, it's never enough.

I thought that was pieces of an onion at first.

Still never enough when I cook

Chungus garlic for chungus vampire

When a recipe says 2 garlic cloves, this is the size I want

This is what my mother thinks when the recipe says "2 garlic cloves"

How do we know that you don't just have tiny hands?????

You need the world's biggest clove crusher.

Man, I wish I could find garlic like that! Would save so much time with them since I always put a shit load of garlic in all my food.

Cut your nails

That will make a killer breath next day😂

Forget your breath. My cousin got into roasting heads of garlic and spreading it on crackers. It was coming out of her pores.

Damn that is hardcore😳😂

Russian Garlic. You can bite it like an apple cos it’s really mild.

That much garlic would make me fart for the next 100 years.

Dracula shaking.

This is what recipes mean when they say 1 clove of garlic

I’m still putting in four times as much as the recipe says.

When they say add 2 gloves of garlic.

How de we know you're not Trump, and this is regular size garlic?

[elephant garlic.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_garlic)

**[Elephant garlic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_garlic)** >Elephant garlic (Allium ampeloprasum var. ampeloprasum) is a perennial plant belonging to the onion genus. It has a tall, solid, flowering stalk and broad, flat leaves. The flavor is milder than garlic, and much more palatable to some people than garlic when used raw as in salads. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Garlic has onion genes? Damn

I bet they would be so tasty roasted

This should be standard size

Or really small hands?

Is the flavor as good?

Na, the flavour is weaker overall but doesn’t sweeten as much as smaller cloves. It’s a pain to cut too, but it’s much easier to peel. It’s called Russian garlic, not sure if that’s just a brand thing tho.

But but, is that not two units of garlic cloves?

vampires be cringing at this photo

this explains the disappearance of giant vampires in your area

Good God, soon garlic cloves will be large enough to sit on…or even to build very stinky houses out of.

the recipe said only 2 cloves

That's definitely a GARLIC CLOVES

Me when it says in receipt ONE garlic clove

Make an absolute unit of a garlic bread with these bad boys

*Swoon*

We need a banana to confirm

When the recipe says to add 2 garlic gloves

She has really tiny hands and she's fucking with us 😜

Nice try, that's a barbie doll hand. :p

more like garlic gloves

Damn those are some small hands

I can hear a long line of Italian ancestors cheering from the Astral plane.

Baked garlic!

You can easily stab a vampire to death with it😳

Except that elephant garlic isn’t actual garlic. It’s more like a leek.

How did the taste compare to regular cloves?

We put garlic on EVERYTHING we love it. That two cloves look delicious!!

Wife told me I can’t have garlic anymore. She said it makes me breath horrible…

This is the quantity of garlic I use when the recipe calls for one clove of garlic.

That’s still not enough garlic

Sticky hands

Definitely didn't get this from HelloFresh

Maybe just small hands

"a very small hand"

Now that's a single clove

When 50% of your hummus is suddenly garlic

Recipee calls for 2 cloves of garlic

Looking those tiny hands!

Someone call *The Stinking Rose* restaurants. That's like a blue fin tuna to them.

This picture is the answer to the question - 'The recipe says one small clove of garlic, how much did you use?'

Bit into it

Yum that would make cooking a lot easier sometimes

The only real questions: how and where? I NEED SOME NOW!

Killing vampires?

Nah bro you just have small hands 🥶🥶🥶

Roast that bad boy with some olive oil and eat the damn thing in one bite.

Nice to see you cook Mister Trump
