Burnt Garlic or Fried Garlic is new to me..I came across a recipe for noodles which uses this as the main ingredient. I loved it so much, that i want to try it asap. And i finally made it too..As a first step for that noodles recipe, i made this amazing fried garlic. It is so simple to make frankly, it needs only garlic and oil.
When you make this fried garlic, as a bonus you get a rich garlic infused oil too..I stored that oil in a air tight container and put it in fridge. Whenever i run out of garlic or too lazy to peel and chop a garlic, i use this oil for cooking. It has a intense garlicky aroma to it. So make this in bulk and keep it handy. It may make your simple meal a perfect one..
