Julia Child Method Of Preparing Garlic Food

JULIA CHILD'S EASY PEEL GARLIC

Steps:

• Remove all the cloves of garlic from the head.
• Take a smallish saucepan and heat to boiling about a cup or two of water; add the cloves of garlic and simmer for 1 minute.
• Drain the water and peel the garlic (which should be softish and should peel easily) - peeling an entire head can take about 5+ minutes, depending on how accustomed you are to doing it.
• Use in whatever recipe(s) you'd like!
• You can store the peeled garlic in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
• Note: you can, of course, even do a single clove in this manner - I just like to do a bunch at a time.

SAUTEED MUSHROOMS (JULIA CHILD)

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a skillet over high heat. It is hot enough when the foam on the butter has begun to subside.
• Add the mushrooms and saute for 4-5 minutes or until they begin to brown.
• Add the shallots and saute over moderate heat for 2 more minutes. Serve.

JULIA CHILD METHOD OF PREPARING GARLIC

Steps:

• Remove all the cloves of garlic from the head.
• Take a smallish saucepan and heat to boiling about a cup of water; add the cloves of garlic and simmer for about 1 minute- drain, peel the garlic (which should be softish and should peel easily) and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter together with the olive oil over medium heat.
• Reduce the temperature low, then add the peeled garlic cloves to the butter mixture; stir well.
• Saute slowly on lowest heat until tender and golden, at least 20 minutes (but it can take as long as 30, depending on your stove), stirring and checking occasionally to make sure they do not burn.
• Remove from heat, drain, and use in whatever recipe you'd like- I enjoy salting them to taste and spreading them on crisp crackers at this point!
