Bramble Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Hi everyone! I've just been to one of those arty-farty (but very nice) deli shops where they had a sort of pick n mix olive bar, but also on there they had the most wonderful mildish tasting garlic (whole cloves) preseved, i think, in vinegar with herbs (tho it doesn't taste vinegary at all). Anyone know how I could make something similar, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 My friend used to make them, but I can't remember how. I did, however, find this basic recipe online. 3 garlic bulbs 1/2 dl white wine vinegar 1 dl olive oil 1/2 tsp salt any spices and/or herbs you want to flavour the garlic with Separate the cloves and boil them for 3-5 minutes. Rinse with cold water, peel and put in a jar, covered with vinegar. Let them marinate for 3 days and drain. Mix the oil, salt and herbs/spices, pour this in jars over the garlic and mix well. They will be ready to eat in 5-10 days. The possibilities are endless, you could try adding some chillies and honey to the oil to make them sweet and hot or a mixture of garden herbs for a more subtle flavour. I think I'll have a go making these for the Christmas hamper I'm giving my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 We bought a jar at a food fair earlier this year which had paprika in the oil and they were delish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
