Crisp-Fried Garlic

From the collection

Introduction

These are good on salads and as a garnish for stir-fries and soups, Asian or otherwise. The recipe is adapted from James Oseland’s Cradle of Flavor.

Ingredients

~ Peanut oil
~ Garlic cloves, peeled and trimmed and cut into paper-thin slices

Steps

  1. Pour one inch of oil into a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high to 365 degrees.
  2. Add the garlic slices (working in batches if you have more than ½ cup of slices) and stir gently but constantly with a slotted spoon until they turn golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the garlic to paper towels. Use immediately or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
