Tips for Cooking Garlic Quickly
To get the most flavor in minimal time, use pre-minced garlic or smash cloves with the flat side of a knife. Sauté garlic in oil over medium heat for 30-60 seconds until fragrant - avoid burning, which turns bitter. For raw garlic in dressings or finishing, grate it on a microplane for instant punch.
