Your Five Favorite Ways of Eating Garlic

[adebayo]

I am one of those passionate about garlic to spice up food. Yet I keep constantly amazed at how garlic has been used for 3,000 years as something more than just food. Its health benefits are wonderful indeed: regulates blood pressure, fights cancer, fights bacteria, etc.

What would you consider your five favorite ways of eating garlic?

Well, I can think of three ways in which I use garlic on my foods. Whenever I bake I surround my meat with slivers of garlic; also I load up my pot when making soup and I also add this herb to my sauces.

I don't believe that I can think of five favorite ways of eating garlic. I have garlic powder and I put it in almost everything that I eat. If I'm having salad, I'll slice up some garlic and throw it in there.

Garlic is extensively used in Indian cuisine. It tastes good when used with vegetables especially in cooked form. I regularly take garlic in cooked form. I love its taste too.

When I have a sore throat I like to chew the cloves. I know this kind of burns and leaves bad breath but I find that it really does help me feel a lot better in the long run.

I love garlic specially raw, however, due to acid reflux I have had to cut down. I love making a sauce with it which I put on everything from meat to salad to a dipping sauce for appetizers. I mix mayonnaise with ketchup to make it pink and then minced a couple of garlic gloves and mix it in. I always have a batch in the refrigerator. Give it a try. Once you try it you will be hooked. It is super delicious with French fries.

I like to roast it and spread it on Italian bread. That's my very favorite way but I also love it in roasts, really with all types of meat. Garlic is so good for you, it's a shame it is so smelly.

I put garlic in any marinade and I also mix it with sauces and other condiments that goes with some of the menu. I also like to eat roasted garlic and raw garlic mixed in vinegar.
