Tangential, but related: my partner claims that putting oil and garlic in a cold pan and warming them together yields a different flavor than heating the oil, and then adding the garlic. I'm pretty convinced that she's right.
Has anyone experimented with this rigorously? I'd happily nerd out reading a similar article in that subject.
- fooker 3y agoYeah this is because you have more time when the oil and garlic is heated together (before the garlic burns). You want to do this when garlic is the main flavor you are aiming for and avoid doing it when garlic wants to complement the other herbs and spices.
