Why do so many recipes mince the garlic when it is so flavorful and sweet cooked whole?

Mincing the garlic cuts up the flavor into shorter pieces of flavor so it's not so overwhelming

>>17443588
based, those shoots are great finely chopped and mixed with minced meat for anything (meatballs, dumplings,etc)

Not if you live in Europe, which you should, then everything is close

Breaking up the garlic releases allicin and intensifies the garlic potency.

>>17443643
Would the garlic be angry if I stole a few before they were ready for harvest? That sounds good.

>tfw you have that first clove of the day
>>17443588
Nice. I should grow some garlic.

hardneck > softneck

>tfw can't eat real garlic because I get excruciatingly painful heartburn from it
Garlic powder is fine, onions are fine, spicy food too, no idea why garlic fuck me up. Feels bad though.

>>17443588

Asian greens, spinach and bok choy are all starting to sprout. Going to be growing a fuckload of spicy peppers this year also. All the usual shit as well, but not yet.

I let some of the bok choy and broccoli go to seed last year and all these delicious hybrids popped up with the rain. This one tastes like a mix between mustard green, bok choy, and broccoli. Pretty fun and tasty.

>>17443397
Listen up. GARLIC, dried or fresh chilli peppers, olive oil, (didn't have any parsley).

>>17444592
Why were you so rude to your pasta?

>>17444603
I wasn't trying to be rude, that's just how it turned out.

>>17444628
I would have added a little pasta water to make an actual sauce, but it's your decision.

Hardneck gang eats softneck's lunch and fucks their girlfriends. Softneck just gets to watch.

>tfw I'm a FODMAP fag and garlic wrecks my stomach for the next 24 hours

I still eat it, but I usually do it on a Friday or Saturday so I can sit at home drinking pepto and farting sulphur.

>>17446100
Right

How do I grow garlic in my own garden? The most I've ever grown is corn, carrots, potatoes, onions, and tomatoes. Someone once mentioned something about "wintering" garlic to me? I know there is a Saskatchewan gardener who browses /ck/. I'm in hardiness zone 3a. Spoon feed me.

Plant in october. Hardbeck for freezing climates, softneck for not so freezing climates. Plant 3 or 4 inches deep and add a good 2-3 inches of mulch on top.

Harvest in june or july when leaves start to turn yellow.
