Cook’s Tip:
- The flavor of garlic can be changed according to how it is prepared. For instance, a whole garlic clove added to a dish will give it the flavor but not the ‘bite’ of garlic; a halved clove will add a little bite while a finely chopped garlic clove will release most of the flavor and a crushed clove will release all of the flavor.
