I buy the bottled chopped garlic. I also have a separate jar that I keep ‘roasted’ garlic in.
I ‘roast’ the chopped garlic by putting it in a sauce pan with some butter/margarine. Low to moderate heat. Stir frequently until most of the garlic pieces are medium brown. I then transfer the ‘roasted’ garlic to a small jar and keep it in the frig for special uses.
The ‘roasting’ makes the garlic sweet and delicious in mashed potatoes, etc.
Happy Easter
