how to eat raw garlic and make it taste good (lentil, mustard)

[nickerman]

anyone know how that is done?

If I'm putting raw garlic in something that is not being cooked, like a dip, I just mince it up very fine. Are you talking about eating a whole clove or something?

Garlic press several cloves into a blender filled with the makings for Caesar salad dressing.

Roast it?


Darn it all. You said raw.


I'm going to go away now. I need a nap.

We finely dice the garlic in salads or add on top of lentil soups or pasta sauce to get a fresh dose of it.Sometimes we eat a clove with bread and wash it down with water.

I mince it and use it and Dijon mustard as a base for lots of salad dressings, either vinaigrette or creamy.

I use it in salad dressing, too.

Grate it on a microplane, mix with olive oil and herbs and dip some nice crusty bread into it..
Or add it to mashed potatoes..

My college roommate ate the cloves plain, with a slice of bread and butter.

Some acid and fats will help mellow out the sharp bite of garlic. Like lemon, lime, olive oil etc.
