CJ,

Had a great weekend! Thanks!
Tell me how you like the bread after you try it.

[Cassie-Jane]

That sounds yummy!
I just mix garlic powder and butter in a frying pan and put on bread, then toast it!

CJ,

That's fine too.
As long as you have and like garlic powder compared to fresh garlic.

Well I do it the simple way but there are some recipes that are more hard to follow.
Clove, I like fresh garlic better but I never knew you could use fresh garlic "cloves"

If you like garlic, try sauteing a few cloves over very low heat in good olive oil until very lightly colored, tossing/turning to "toast" on all sides. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes and a pinch of finely minced fresh parsley. Then at the end (when the garlic has taken on enough color, but has not browned), toss in some very coarsely grated Parmesan or Romano cheese. Press the softened garlic into the oil. Scoop this into a small jar and add use it as a spread for crusty grilled or toasted Italian bread. Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt or Kosher salt just before serving. Another topping for this - thinly sliced shards of flaky (not waxy) provolone or other sharp Italian cheese.

Another super simple way to peel garlic--nuke it for ten seconds, the skins pop right off!

[Cassie-Jane]

I just have a garlic press. I have never had a need for peeling garlic but... Last night I was cooking a dish and it called for Peeled Garlic! It said I could not press it!!

[K. Slink]

I guess the recipe only wanted a hint of garlic flavor instead of the full hit that comes from pressing it. Personally, I ALWAYS want the full hit!!!
