Garlic
|
The "stinking rose" is made up of cloves that are arragned in a head, called a bulb. The entire vegetable is wrapped in paper like, flakey sheathes. |
Store fresh garlic in a container (covered or uncovered), in a cool place away from light. This will keep it fresh and help to prevent it from sprouting. It can keep for two months, but when you break the head it reduces its shelf life to just a couple of days. |
Copious amounts of garlic should be used in almost every dish you start. Chop and saute lightly in olive oil, along with an onion, and build your recipe from there. One of the Spoutwood staff members likes his garlic raw, chopped, and eaten on a sandwich with cheese and mayo. |
