Crispy Garlic In Oil Food

CHILI CRISP RECIPE - HOW TO MAKE CHILI CRISP

Steps:

• Add the oil to a small pot along with the serrano peppers, shallot, garlic, peppercorns. Add the cinnamon stick and star anise pods, if using.
• Heat the oil to medium-low and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the ingredients in the pot brown. It could take longer for the bits to brown and crisp depending on the size of your chopped peppers and oil temperature.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes. The flavors will infuse the oil even further.
• In a separate heat-proof bowl, mix together the chili flakes, paprika (or Gochugaru), soy sauce, sugar and msg.
• Strain the oil into the chili flake mixture. Reserve the crispy serrano-shallot-garlic bits in the strainer and set them aside for now to cool, which will allow them to fully crisp up.
• Pick out the cinnamon stick and star anise pods (if using), then swirl the crispy bits back into the oil.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight to let the flavors develop even more. Stir before serving.

CRISPY GARLIC SMASHED BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Boil potatoes in salted water until the potatoes are softened and a fork can easily poke into a potato, about 15-18 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. Drain and pat the potatoes dry using a paper towel.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet (cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup). Toss the potatoes with garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and oil.
• Take a fork and carefully press down on each potato until the potato is flattened, but still holds together.
• Space the potatoes on the baking sheet so they are not touching. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy and lightly golden in appearance. Garnish with parsley if you like. Serve immediately.

CRISPY FRIED GARLIC AND GARLIC OIL RECIPE

Steps:

• If cooking on stovetop: Combine chopped garlic and oil in a 2-quart saucepan or wok. Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until garlic begins to bubble steadily, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides and bottom of the saucepan to ensure even cooking and prevent garlic from sticking and scorching, until garlic turns pale golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes longer. Working quickly, pour contents of saucepan into prepared strainer set over bowl. (Garlic will continue cooking for a brief period after draining, so do not allow it to get too dark.) If cooking in microwave: Combine garlic and oil in a large microwave-safe bowl and stir to break up any clumps. Microwave on high power for 5 minutes. Stir with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, scraping down sides of the bowl. Continue to microwave in 2-minute increments, stirring between each round, until garlic begins to turn lightly golden, 4 to 8 minutes total. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each round, until evenly pale golden brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute and 30 seconds longer. Working quickly, pour contents of bowl into strainer set over bowl. (Garlic will continue cooking for a brief period after draining, so do not allow it to get too dark.)

GARLIC ROASTED POTATOES | HOW TO MAKE THE BEST CRISPY ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Nicely wash the potatoes. Peel them if desired, and cut them into cubes.
• Now boil the potatoes in water till they are cooked and drain them. To speed up the process, you can even microwave the potatoes for 5 minutes. Boiling gives the extra crispy crust to the potatoes.
• While the potatoes are boiling, in a bowl add dill leaves, oil, garlic powder, garlic cloves, salt to taste, and mix well.
• Once the potatoes are boiled and drained, nicely toss them with the garlic-herb mixture and let this stand for 10 minutes so that the hot potatoes absorb the flavors from garlic, herb, and oil.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or use a nonstick baking pan. Use cooking spray to grease the surface if needed. Place this in the oven while preheating so that the pan gets extremely hot and potatoes will not stick.
• Add the potatoes in a single layer in the preheated baking pan.
• Bake this for 30 minutes or until crisp and golden brown turning halfway at 15 minutes so that both sides get that crispy golden brown texture.
• Spray the air fryer basket once at the beginning with any cooking spray of your choice.
• Place the boiled and seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket and bake at 400 degrees F. Stir and cook until the exterior becomes crisp and golden brown about 18 to 20 minutes. Toss them halfway through (around 10 min mark) and shake to ensure even cooking.
• Grease pan with oil. Once the pan or grill is hot, add the boiled or microwaved and seasoned potatoes in a single layer within the pan. Cover with lid and cook on a medium flame for 8 minutes.
• Once it becomes golden brown, flip and cook on the other side for an additional 6 to 8 minutes. You may drizzle oil if needed. For the best result cook this on medium to medium-low flame.
• Here the exact time may vary depending on the pan you use and the intensity of the flame.
• Add 1 cup of water along with the chopped potatoes to your instant pot.
• Secure the lid and pressure cook on HIGH for 12 to 13 minutes and quick release.
• Drain the water and immediately toss pressure-cooked potatoes with the garlic herb mixture. Let this sit for 10 to 15 minutes. This will allow the potatoes to absorb the flavors.
• Set the instant pot to SAUTE mode.
• Drizzle 1 or 2 tsp of oil if needed. Once hot, add the seasoned and cooked potatoes and leave it undisturbed for 3 to 5 minutes. Once the bottom becomes golden brown, carefully flip using a spoon or tongs and cook on the other side till it's browned and crisp. You may drizzle oil during this cooking process if needed.

GARLIC RICE

Steps:

• Peel garlic, then use a Microplane to grate cloves into a small bowl. Set aside. In a medium pot over medium-high heat, add oil and butter. Heat until butter is melted and frothy, 1-2 minutes, then add garlic and stir until fragrant and lightly golden, 1-2 minutes. Add rice and stir so each individual grain is coated in the butter and oil. Scrape down the sides of the pot and toast rice, 30 seconds.
• Add water and salt and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot with foil to prevent any steam from escaping, then place a lid over the foil and simmer, 20 minutes. Remove pot from heat and allow rice to continue steaming, covered, 10 minutes.
• Taste the rice. If rice is undercooked, drizzle 2-3 tablespoons water on top, but don't stir it in; cover the pot again and simmer on lowest heat, 5-10 minutes. Fluff the rice in the pot with a wooden spoon and serve.
• When serving, leave rice that sticks to bottom of the pot. Turn the heat to high and let the oil fry the rice till crispy, 5 minutes. (This is a special chef's snack called concolon!)

PASTA WITH GOAT CHEESE, TOMATOES, AND CRISPY GARLIC

Steps:

• Add the olive oil and smashed garlic to a small skillet over low heat.
• Let cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring the garlic every two to three minutes. Be sure to keep a close eye on it, making sure the garlic doesn't burn. The end result should be lightly golden and toasted garlic.
• Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Spoon out the garlic and finely chop. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, add the grape tomatoes to a colander and cook fusilli according to package directions.
• Drain the fusilli over the tomatoes and let sit for a couple of minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix together the fusilli, tomatoes, goat cheese, basil, and infused olive oil. Season with salt to taste.
• Top with crispy garlic and Romano cheese.
• Devour.

NOODLES WITH CRISPY CHILLI OIL EGGS

Steps:

• To make the chilli oil, tip the shallots, garlic, cinnamon stick, star anise and oil into a wide pan (a deep frying pan is good), then bring to a gentle sizzle. Cook for 15-20 mins over a low-medium heat, stirring now and again, until the shallots and garlic are crisp and golden brown. They will burn easily if the heat is too high, so watch the pan.
• Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan until golden, then tip into a bowl and set aside. Put the cumin seeds and Szechuan peppercorns in the pan and toast for 1-2 mins until aromatic. Tip into a pestle and mortar or spice grinder, and grind to a powder. Mix with the toasted sesame seeds.
• Add the ginger, chilli flakes, soy and sugar to the bowl with the toasted, ground spices. When the shallots and garlic are crisp, strain the oil over the bowl using a sieve. Leave the crispy bits of garlic and shallot in the sieve to cool and become even more crisp. Discard the cinnamon and star anise.
• Stir the cooled shallots and garlic through the spiced oil mixture. Will keep chilled for up to two weeks in an airtight, sterilised jar.
• When ready to make the noodles, heat the veg oil in a wok. Add the pak choi and stir-fry for a minute with a splash of water and a pinch of salt. Cover with a lid (or a baking tray if you don't have one). Steam for a minute, then lift the veg from the wok, letting any liquid drip off. Set aside on a plate. Put the vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar in the pan along with 2 tsp of the crispy chilli oil. Bring to a bubble, then add the noodles and toss for a few minutes over a high heat until the sauce is clinging to the noodles and they're soft and slippery. Divide the noodles between two bowls and put the pak choi on top.
• Wipe out the pan. Add another drizzle of the crispy chilli oil along with about 2 tsp of sediment from the jar. When sizzling, crack in the eggs and fry until crispy around the edge, spooning over the oil as they cook. Slide the fried eggs over the noodles, adding more crispy bits from the jar, if you like.

CRISPY GARLIC IN OIL

Steps:

• Heat a small skillet over low heat.
• Add the oil and heat until a bit of garlic added to the pan sizzles at once - a minute or two. Add the garlic and stir gently to separate.
• As the garlic begins to turn golden and release its fragrance, stir gently. Watch carefully because the garlic can burn quickly. When half the garlic has turned golden, remove from the heat and set aside. The garlic will continue to cook in the hot oil once it is removed from the heat.
• Set the pan aside to cool to room temperature.
• Transfer the garlic and oil to a glass jar and store in the refrigerator.
• Note: Do not chop the garlic too finely as this will increase its tendency to burn.

BEETROOT GNOCCHI WITH CRISPY GARLIC & SAGE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Put the beetroot and potatoes on a large baking tray, then roast in the oven for 1 hr until tender. Check the beetroot after 50 mins as they will cook more quickly than the potatoes.
• When cool enough to handle, carefully peel the beetroot (using gloves to avoid staining your hands, if you like) and blitz the flesh in a mixing bowl using a hand blender or in a food processor, to make a smooth purée. Peel the potatoes, then tip the flesh into the beetroot purée and mash until smooth. Tip in the flour, season well, then mash again. Tip the mixture out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead with your hands until it forms a dough. Roll each piece into a long sausage around 2cm in diameter. Cut each piece into 1.5-2cm chunks. You can keep them like this or roll ridges onto to them using the back of a fork. Set aside on a plate, spaced apart so they don't stick together.
• Heat the oil in a medium pan over a medium heat and fry the garlic until crisp and starting to turn golden. Add the sage and cook until crisp. Tip into a bowl along with the oil left in the pan. Add the spinach and stir until wilted.
• Put the gnocchi in a large pan of boiling water and cook for 2 mins until they rise to the surface. You may need to do this in batches. Scoop out using a slotted spoon. To serve, put the spinach on the base of two pasta bowls, then top with the drained gnocchi, the garlic and sage. Sprinkle with the cheese and drizzle over a little more olive oil, if you like.

CRISPY GARLIC CHIPS

Steps:

• Using a small slicer or a mandoline, slice the garlic very thin.
• Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Line a plate with two paper towels. To test the temperature of the oil, add a slice of garlic. If it sizzles, add the rest of the garlic and cook until just crisp and light golden brown, a matter of seconds. Use a flat slotted skimmer to keep the slices from sticking together as they cook, and transfer them to the paper towels to drain the moment they turn color. (The oil can be strained and used for another batch or reserved for another use.)

CRISPY GARLIC DIPPING OIL FOR BREAD

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a parchment lined baking dish. Bake at 375* for 10 minutes. Stir and return to oven for 5 minutes. Stir and if garlic is crispy but not burned, remove from oven. If not yet crispy, return to the oven for up to 5 more minutes, checking often so that garlic doesn't burn. Serve in shallow dishes with your favorite crusty bread, adding additional olive oil if desired.
