Garlic 

:For the former town, see Garlic, California.

Allium sativum'', commonly known as garlic, is a species in the onion family Alliaceae. Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, and chive.Eric Block, "Garlic and Other Alliums: The Lore and the Science" (Cambridge: Royal Society of Chemistry, 2010) Garlic has been used throughout recorded history for both culinary and medicinal purposes. It has a characteristic pungent, spicy flavor that mellows and sweetens considerably with cooking. A bulb of garlic, the most commonly used part of the plant, is divided into numerous fleshy sections called cloves. Single clove garlic (also called Pearl garlic or Solo garlic) also exists?it originates in the Yunnan province of China. The cloves are used as seed, for consumption (raw or cooked), and for medicinal purposes. The leaves, stems (scape), and flowers (bulbils) on the head (spathe) are also edible and are most often consumed while immature and still tender. The papery, protective layers of "skin" over various parts of the plant and the roots attached to the bulb are the only parts not considered palatable.

Garlic History 

What Family Does Garlic Belong To?

Elephant Garlic



Garlic History

The word garlic comes from Old English garleac, meaning "spear leek." Dating back over 6,000 years, it is native to Central Asia, and has long been a staple in the Mediterranean region, as well as a frequent seasoning in Asia, Africa, and Europe.

Egyptians worshipped garlic and placed clay models of garlic bulbs in the tomb of Tutankhamen. Garlic was so highly-prized, it was even used as currency. Folklore holds that garlic repelled vampires, protected against the Evil Eye, and warded off jealous nymphs said to terrorize pregnant women and engaged maidens. And let us not forget to mention the alleged aphrodisiacal powers of garlic which have been extolled through the ages.

Surprisingly, garlic was frowned upon by foodie snobs in the United States until the first quarter of the twentieth century, being found almost exclusively in ethnic dishes in working-class neighborhoods. But, by 1940, America had embraced garlic, finally recognizing its value as not only a minor seasoning, but as a major ingredient in recipes.

Quaint diner slang of the 1920's referred to garlic as Bronx vanilla, halitosis, and Italian perfume. Today, Americans alone consume more than 250 million pounds of garlic annually.

How to Make Roasted Garlic 

A Wonderful Appetizer

Roasted garlic is a delicious appetizer. Squeeze the pulp out of the cloves and spread on the bread of your liking or serve with bruschetta and/or tapenade. Roasted garlic is also excellent used in your baking. It is milder than raw garlic. In fact, raw garlic is two to four times stronger in flavor. Garlic becomes very mellow and easy to spread after cooking.

Garlic Bulbs



Roasted Garlic

3 whole garlic heads (bulbs)
2 to 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

NOTE: You can multiply the recipe to make as much roasted garlic as you need. Each head will yield about one heaping tablespoon of garlic puree.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Slicing Garlic Bulbs



Peel away the outer layers of skin of the garlic bulb, leaving the skins of the individual cloves intact; leave garlic bulb whole. Using a sharp knife, slice 1/2-inch off of the pointed end of the garlic bulbs, exposing the individual cloves of garlic.

Sliced Garlic Bulbs



Garlic Bulb in Olive Oil



Put the garlic head in a small ovenproof dish, garlic roaster, or pan. Pour 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over the top of each bulb and let it sink in between the cloves. Wait 2 minutes and then repeat with another 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over each garlic bulb.

Garlic Roaster



Either cook in a garlic cooker or place on a baking sheet and cover with aluminum foil (this is great for cooking large amounts of garlic).

Garlic Under Aluminum Foil



Cover and bake approximately 45 to 60 minutes or until cloves are browned at the exposed end and soft throughout. Remove from oven.

Allow the roasted garlic to cool enough so you can touch it without burning yourself. Use a small small knife cut the skin slightly around each clove. Use a cocktail fork or your fingers to pull or squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins.

Garlic may be stored in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for several days. To puree, crush garlic cloves with the flat of a knife.

A great way to serve roasted garlic cloves is as an accompaniment to bread. To serve, spread baguette bread with cream cheese, squeeze clove onto the bread, and spread.

Garlic Cooking Tips and Hints 

How to Cook with Garlic

Believe it or not, one raw garlic clove, finely minced or pressed releases more flavor than a dozen cooked whole cloves.

When garlic cloves are cooked or baked whole, the flavor mellows into a sweet, almost nutty flavor that hardly resembles any form of pungency. This nutty flavor makes a surprisingly nice addition to desserts, such as brownies or even ice cream.

Cooked, whole, unpierced cloves barely have any aroma at all, while raw garlic is the strongest in flavor.

When sauteing garlic, be very careful not to burn it. The flavor turns intensely bitter, and you'll have to start over.

If you have a good garlic press, you don't even need to peel garlic cloves before pressing, which can be a wonderful time-saver. Just place the unpeeled clove in the tool cavity, press and discard the skins left in the cavity.

An easy rule of thumb to remember regarding the potency of the flavor of garlic is: The smaller you cut it, the stronger the flavor. Chopping finely and/or pressing a clove exposes more surfaces to the air, causing a chemical reaction to produce that strong aroma and potent flavor.

Garlic Press: The Best Tool for Crushing Garlic 

This is the best way to get fresh garlic into your recipe.

Zyliss, the Swiss maker of quality kitchen accessories, has refined the garlic press into a streamlined kitchen tool. There's no need to tediously peel garlic before pressing any longer--just place the whole clove into the press and squeeze. The peelings remain in the receptacle and garlic bits and juice are pressed out. The press is easily cleaned with the accompanying cleaning tool, which is conveniently stored in the handle so it won't be misplaced. Just match up the cleaner pegs with the holes in the garlic press to remove remaining peelings. Also, its aluminum construction makes this item dishwasher-safe. --Pamela Zytnicki

How to Choose Garlic for Your Recipes 

How to choose the best garlic

Garlic Selection and Storage

Choose garlic heads that are firm to the touch, with no nicks or soft cloves. If you notice dark, powdery patches under the skin, pass it up because this is an indication of a common mold which will eventually spoil the flesh.

Store unpeeled heads of garlic in an open container in a cool, dry place away from other foods. Do not refrigerate or freeze unpeeled garlic. Properly stored garlic can keep up to three months.

As garlic ages, it will begin to produce green sprouts in the center of each clove. These infant green sprouts can be bitter, so discard them before chopping the garlic for your recipe.

However, if you plant the cloves and let them sprout to a height of about six inches, you can use the sprouts like chives in salads and such.

Garlic can also be purchased as peeled whole cloves or minced, both stored in olive or vegetable oil. It is imperative that garlic in oil be stored under refrigeration to avoid potentially-deadly botulism bacteria growth. If you use a lot of garlic and wish to cut your preparation time down, you can pre-peel and store your own in olive oil in the refrigerator, but the best flavor will come from freshly-peeled cloves. Use garlic powder, garlic salt, and garlic extract (juice) only as a last resort.

How to Peel Garlic



How to Peel Garlic

To peel a garlic clove, place it on a cutting board on its side, and gently press down quickly with the flat side of a butcher knife. The skin should then easily peel off. If you find the skin clinging desperately to the clove, congratulations! You have fresh garlic. As garlic ages, it shrivels inside the skin, making it easier to peel.

Garlic Health Benefits

Health Benefits of Garlic

Garlic has long been considered a medicinal food. It was used to protect against plague by monks in the Middle Ages. Hippocrates used garlic vapors to treat cervical cancer. Garlic poultices were placed on wounds during World War II as an inexpensive, and apparently quite effective replacement for antibiotics which were scarce during wartime.

Now science is beginning to prove the medicinal properties of garlic that our ancestors took for granted. Studies have shown garlic can suppress the growth of tumors, and is a potent antioxidant good for cardiovascular health.

Other studies show garlic can reduce LDLs or "bad" cholesterol and is a good blood-thinning agent to avoid blood clots which could potentially lead to heart attack or stroke.

All of this natural medicine comes at a cost of only 4 calories per clove.

Garlic Basil Mayonnaise 

This pretty green mayonnaise is packed with the flavor of garlic and basil. If the raw egg concerns you, use irradiated eggs which are available in most markets. Use as a condiment with meats, grilled chicken, vegetables, sandwiches, and salads.
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Ingredients:
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
4 to 7 garlic cloves to taste
1/2 cup spicy globe or lemon basil, tightly packed
1/4 tsp dry mustard or 1 tsp Dijon-style mustard
1 tbsp lemon juice or cider vinegar
Dash of sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
2/3 cup olive oil
Preparation:
Place vegetable oil, egg, garlic, basil, mustard, lemon juice or vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Puree for 1 minute, stopping to scrape down sides.

With the motor running, drizzle olive oil down the chute in a slow but steady stream. Stop as soon as the olive oil has been incorporated and mixture is thick and emulsified. Do not over-process or it will separate. Add 1 teaspoon of very hot water, pulsing several times to blend in. (This will help stabilize the mayonnaise.)

Refrigerate leftovers and use within 7 days.

Yield: about 1 cup

Garlic Herb-Crusted Prime Rib Roast Recipe 

Garlic Herb-Crusted Prime Rib Roast

As you can see from the photo, this method produces a tender, succulent prime rib roast while the garlic and herb crust adds incredible flavor. Prime rib should never be cooked more than medium-rare. Doing so toughens the meat. If some of your guests like it a bit more done, use a restaurant trick and simply pour the piping hot pan juices over the sliced meat, which will cook it more.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours,
Ingredients:
1 three-rib prime-rib roast, small end with ribs attached, at room temperature (see Notes)
2 tablespoons kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
6 cloves garlic, cut in 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 Tablespoons fresh grated horseradish (see Notes)
2 Tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
2 Tablespoons flour
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup dry red wine
1-1/2 cups beef broth
Preparation:
Position oven rack on the lowest level in the oven. Preheat oven to 450 F.

Carefully remove prime rib roast from the bones so that the bones are remain attached to each other (or have your butcher do it for you). Place the bones in the bottom of a large heavy roaster pan. The ribs will serve as the rack for the roast. Sprinkle both ribs and roast generously with the salt and pepper.

Place garlic, onion, horseradish, oregano, flour, and mayonnaise in a food processor and pulse until a smooth paste forms. Press garlic paste on all sides of the roast and place fat-side up on the rib rack in the pan.

Place in pre-heated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 275 F. Bake an additional 1-1/2 hours or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the roast indicates a temperature of 110 F. for medium-rare. (Roast will continue to cook after you remove it from the oven.) Check at 10 minute intervals until it reaches desired temperature.

Move prime rib roast and ribs to a platter and keep warm. Let rest at least 15 minutes before carving.

Meanwhile, pour drippings from the pan into a gravy separator or glass measuring cup. Siphon off grease and reserve juices.

Place the roasting pan over medium-high heat and add red wine. Deglaze the pan by stirring to scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Boil until juices are reduced by half, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add beef broth, reserved beef juices, and any juice that has collected in the platter. Cook, stirring often, until reduced again by half.

Slice prime rib roast and separate ribs. Serve with the reduced pan sauce and Creamed Horseradish Dill Sauce.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Notes: For this cooking method to work, it is essential that the prime rib roast be at room temperature before placing in the oven. Use a microplane to grate the horseradish. It's finer, faster, and easier than a box grater. The food processor doesn't chop it finely enough.

Garlic, White Cheddar and Chipotle Mashed Potatoes Recipe

36 garlic cloves
1/3 cup olive oil
5 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces

1-1/2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chilies

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Toss garlic with olive oil in baking pan. Cover with foil; bake 30 minutes. Uncover; bake until garlic is tender, about 15 minutes. Cool; peel and chop.

List Price: $16.00

Inspired by the success of their James Beard Award-winning work, Onions, Onions, Onions, authors Fred and Linda Griffith now take on another stinky favorite: garlic. Shunned for centuries even in France and Italy because of its strong flavor and odor, garlic was considered a low-class seasoning, only winning wide acceptance in cooking outside working-class kitchens after World War II. Garlic, Garlic, Garlic provides detailed guidance for buying, storing, and preparing garlic, and explains the pros and cons of using a garlic press. There are also 200-plus recipes, many for ethnic dishes rich in garlic. There is Brandade, the creamy French dish made with salt cod, and Spanish Sopa de Ajo, a pungent peasant soup of garlic, bread, and oil with poached eggs. Even cozy macaroni and cheese is punctuated with three pressed, plump cloves of garlic. Dessert is not forgotten- -how about ice cream topped with golden, caramelized Honey-Poached Garlic Sauce for something really different? While only experienced cooks may want to attempt dishes like Veal Brisket Roasted with Garlic, Onions, and Plums, any garlic lover with modest skills can whip up the Special Marinara Sauce or grill the Flank Steak with Balsamic Vinegar Marinade.

The authors delve deep into garlic trivia, exposing quirky garlic lore and beliefs--including the revelation that six heads of this odoriferous cousin to the lily were discovered in King Tut's tomb. And for real garlic junkies, the dates and locations of every garlic festival in the U.S. and Canada are all here. --Dana Jacobi

Roasted Garlic Hummus 

Add a little Pita Bread and Yum!

Roasted Garlic Hummus with Pita Bread

Makes 3 cups/Vegan/Gluten-Free

This creamy, zesty dip has more than 40 cloves of garlic in it. Yet, roasting the garlic softens the cloves to a creamy, slightly sweet pulp that doesn't overwhelm other flavors or give off that typical garlicky aroma.

4-5 heads garlic
1 Tbs. plus 1/4 cup olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
1 28 oz. can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 Tbs. tahini

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut tops from garlic heads to reveal tips of garlic cloves. Place garlic heads on large sheet of foil, and drizzle with 1 Tbs. oil. Wrap garlic heads tightly in foil, and bake 30 to 45 minutes, or until garlic heads feel soft through foil. Cool in foil.

Puree chickpeas 1 minute in food processor, or until finely chopped. Add lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, tahini, and 1/2 cup water. Blend chickpea mixture 2 to 3 minutes, or until smooth.

Squeeze roasted garlic pulp from each clove into chickpea mixture in bowl of food processor. Pulse hummus several times to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Spread in think layer on large plate, and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with whole wheat pita wedges.
