So I put 4 cloves in a small batch of salsa. I did roast them with a butane torch and thought that would make the flavor a little milder, nope.

Microplane graters are amazing for garlic.

(And ginger and wasabi, zesting citrus…)(onions, too. If your a masochist.)

(also in most stores, fresh whole cloves cost less and are better quality - and much more potent- than other options.)

They are great for hard cheese and nutmeg too.

Fucking lies. My mom has a special recipe for garlic and shallot soup that will leave you literally farting garlic vapors and it’s both delicious and could use more garlic.

It wasn’t the amount of garlic; it was likely burnt and bitter from being roasted with a blowtorch instead of low and slow in the oven.

That’s your problem. Rotating garlic needs a lower heat than a torch for a longer time.

Yeah, of you can back it away from the garlic enough. Otherwise it’s too hot.
