Making homemade meals has a reputation for being difficult, messy and time-consuming. It does not have to be. In Kitchen Hacks, you’ll find simple time-savers for making delicious, nutritious “slow” foods fast.
Garlic
I love garlic. I use it in lots of savory recipes to add layers to flavors, whether to add enough to give things a garlic-y taste or not. It’s so easy to have real garlic – not preserved on jars with who-knows-what – on hand. The flavor of fresh frozen garlic is entirely different than preserved, and it loses no nutritional value from freezing.
With this hack, you’ll make just one mess one time and have beautiful diced ready-to-go garlic at the ready.
- Simply break the garlic head into seperate cloves.
- Bash the cloves with the flat side of a wide knife.
- The papery skins will pop off. Brush them away. repeat with the tire head or two of garlic.
- Dice the entire head of garlic cloves.
- Scoop into a jar and freeze. I pack it in lightly so that it’s easy to scoop out by the teaspoon full.
