What to do with that last scoop of tomato paste left at the bottom of the can? Freeze it in an ice cube tray. Here are 11 more ingredients worth putting into your tray.
Those tiny compartments are perfect for preserving single-serving portions of leftover condiments and ingredients that are too small to keep around in the fridge but too tasty (or expensive) to throw out. Once your cubes are frozen, pop them from the tray into a resealable freezer bag for easy access the next time you need a tablespoon or two. You may want to measure what your tray holds, so you can use the right number of cubes in recipes.
A delicious addition to any dish and incredibly easy to make.
Not only will roasted garlic make your whole house smell good, you’ll want to eat it all the time!
Forget about all the culinary uses for roasted garlic – I’m just going to roast it every day because it smells so darn good!
There are really no tricks to roasting it either: Just slice off the top, toss it in some aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and pop it in the oven at 400°F for about 30 minutes – and you’re on your way to garlic transformation! If you need to roast a large amount of garlic, rather than wrapping each head in aluminum foil, you can fill a roasting dish, drizzle them all with olive oil, add your salt & pepper, cover the whole roasting dish with aluminum foil and roast away!
Aside from smelling really good, roasted garlic has multiple uses, whether it be spreading on toast, adding to a sauce, creating a roasted garlic butter, and more. It’s a great way to add additional flavors to your cooking.
Roasting removes much of the pungency of raw garlic since it caramelizes in the oven, resulting in a sweeter, more mellow garlic flavor. If you have some favorite recipes that use a fair bit of garlic (who doesn’t?), substitute some of your roasted garlic in there for an extra oomph of flavor! Not to mention everything sounds better when you add “Roasted Garlic” in front of the name. (At least I think it does!)
Happy roasting!
