Title: Garlic - yet another question
Post by: Susiebelle on October 15, 2008, 11:28:39
In Sarah Ravens cookbook she suggests storing roasted garlic heads in olive oil-which I would like to give a go! However reading earlier threads this does not sound good practice. Has anyone tried this or any thoughts? if not this has any one tried freezing roasted garlic?

Second question - since fresh garlic freezes fine for cooking, as opposed to snacking, then roasted should be the same.

Tim, do you freeze it raw, whole bulbs or cloves, peeled or unpeeled?  Excuse my ignorance.

Snacking?

I guess you snack on them? like pickled onions ? I dunno just wondering what you meant by "as opposed to snacking on your earlier post of this thread.

Maybe I am having a dim wit moment!! :P

Yes - but I don't have enough to do my own, so I get them from Tesco.

Lots of ideas on the net - eg: http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1636,155172-224197,00.html
