Deep Fried Garlic Food

DEEP-FRIED GARLIC CLOVES AND GREEN OLIVES

Steps:

• Put garlic cloves in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 1 minute. Drain and repeat with fresh water. Drain and repeat once more, simmering about 5 minutes or until soft, testing often. Gently lift garlic cloves out of pan and drain on paper towels until cool. Meanwhile, place olives on paper towels to drain.
• When ready to cook, mix flour, salt and pepper on a plate. In a bowl, beat eggs. Spread bread crumbs on another plate. In a heavy pot, heat 3 inches of oil to 375 degrees: when hot enough, a chunk of bread will fry in 30 seconds.
• Working in batches, roll garlic cloves and olives in seasoned flour, then in beaten eggs, then in bread crumbs. Repeat process and drop into oil. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let oil come back to 375 degrees between batches. Serve immediately.

GARLIC FRIES

Steps:

• In a deep heavy pot or a deep fryer, add the oil and heat to 325 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch sticks. Put them in a bowl of cold water and let soak for 15 minutes. Drain and dry them well.
• Carefully drop the potatoes, in batches, in the hot oil. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain well on brown paper. Let cool.
• Increase the oil temperature to 350 degrees F. When you are ready to serve, fry the potatoes again in the hotter oil until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well on brown paper. Meanwhile, in a small pot, melt the butter with the garlic.
• In a large bowl, toss a large handful of fries with some of the garlic butter. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, parsley, and salt while hot. Serve immediately.

DELICIOUS DEEP FRIED PICKLES

Steps:

• Combine bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl; set aside. Whisk egg and milk together in a separate bowl. Dip dill pickle spears into the egg mixture, then into the bread crumb mixture until well-coated. Dip the pickles in the egg and bread crumb mixtures a second time so each spear is double coated. Arrange pickles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer until the breading is set, about 30 minutes.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Fry the pickles in the preheated oil until light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

DEEP FRIED GARLIC

Steps:

• Separate bulbs and peel garlic.
• Drop cloves into boiling water and when boiling resumes, blanch for about 3-4 minutes. The longer the cloves cook the milder their flavor, but don't overcook or they will be mushy.
• Drain and pour cold water over to cool.
• Meanwhile, prepare batter by combining biscuit mix, egg, beer, parsley and salt.
• Heat vegetable oil in deep pot or fry cooker.
• Dip each cooked clove of garlic into batter and fry until golden brown in color.
• Remove from oil and drain on paper towel.
• Serve Hot.

DEEP-FRIED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large pot to 365 degrees F. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a small bowl, stir together the Parmesan, sumac, cayenne and lemon zest.
• Add the garlic to the oil. Fry until light golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove to the lined baking sheet to drain. Add half of the broccoli to the oil and fry, turning occasionally, until browned and crispy, about 3 minutes. Remove to the lined baking sheet to drain and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining broccoli.
• Put the broccoli in a serving bowl and toss with the Parmesan mixture. Sprinkle with the fried garlic. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

FRIED GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a food processor, pulse the garlic until finely minced.
• Fill a medium-width, deep-sided pot halfway with water and bring to a boil, then turn off the heat. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Transfer the garlic to a sieve and submerge in the hot water, blanching for about 2 minutes. Remove and dunk the garlic in the ice water until cooled, then drain well and spread evenly onto the lined baking sheet. Bake until the garlic is dry to the touch, 12 to 15 minutes.
• While the garlic is drying, empty out the pot and dry well. Fill the pot with at least 2 inches of oil, making sure to leave a few inches of clearance from the top of the pot. Heat the oil over medium-high until it reaches 350F (use a thermometer).
• Have the baking sheet lined with paper towels at the ready. Add the garlic and fry until the bubbles begin to subside and the garlic turns golden and rises to the surface, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the fried garlic back to the paper towels and let cool completely. Season generously with salt, then transfer to a sealable container and store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 weeks. Reserve the garlic-flavored frying oil for future use.

FRIED GARLIC CHIPS

Steps:

• In wok or cast iron skillet, ( I use my anodized pot with no problem, just be sure it's heavy-bottomed), bring the oil to deep fry temperature, about 350°F
• Add garlic and fry, stirring and tossing, until a golden brown, taking care not to let any of it burn. This only takes 1-2 minutes.
• Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• (Do Crispy Shallots in this same oil, then save the flavorful oil for cooking.).
• Cool garlic to room temperature and store in tightly covered container for a week, or a little more. It likely will not last that long!
