Ingredients

  • 2 heads garlic
  • 2 cups neutral oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel and crush garlic. With a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic into small bits. Work in batches and pound a few cloves at a time. Alternatively, you can use a food processor or a sharp knife.
  2. Preheat oil to 350°F (175°C). Place a wok or skillet over medium heat and pour in a neutral oil. Wait for it to get hot.
  3. Drop in the garlic. Keep it moving with a sieve, and watch for a golden hue.
  4. Remove from heat. Once golden, scoop out the garlic to avoid burning. The garlic will keep cooking until removed from the oil.
  5. Transfer to paper towels. Let the fried garlic bits rest on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  6. Store the fried garlic in an airtight jar.

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
