Fried Garlic, Pickled Garlic

How About Some Garlic?

It has been taught to us by our grandmothers that garlic is not just good spice for the recipe in our home cook but a medicine to cure different illnesses. Now this is not just traditional belief or superstition by our forefathers told to their children. Modern science halve already proven the medicinal health effect through their studies.

Of course not, garlic is not just the perfect weapon against manananggal and aswang threatening to consume our heart and other internal organs.

It has been told over and over again, including my mother that garlic is one of the best medicines for cardio-vascular diseases like heart attacks because of hypertension and high blood pressure. The supplementation of garlic clove is one of the best known to the name.

But we don’t want that knockout taste that is so sour and yucky to our tongue and mouth. We eat one or more to cloves and it just like causing injury to our mouth.  So while we are praying for the

effect of garlic by munching a clove or two, the sour is left behind in the taste buds of our tongue. And then the odor from our body is not just pleasant. The next day, we don’t want to consume another clover.

Some don’t munch them instead they just drink it whole.

But hey, why burden yourself with the bad taste of garlic when we can enjoy it. How? There are two ways to make it lovelier or yummier (if it’s the good term)in our mouth:

Fried garlic and pickled garlic.

Fried garlic. Simply fried the garlic cloves. That is easy.

Pickled garlic. Of course we know how to pickling food. Just adding vinegar, a little bit of salt and some condiments and seasoning… and that’s it.

Or better yet, go to the Trade Fair of your town or province and just buy a glass of fried garlic. People have known the medicinal value like lowering the cholesterol and just got the idea of selling it deliciously.

Enjoy garlic.
