Garlic is the go-to ingredient for millions of savoury dishes -- from your favourite platter of pasta to scrumptious Asian cuisine, and from heart-warming soups and stews to delectable marinades and sauces for meat, poultry and seafood. You can add a touch to allow the other ingredients to shine, but the true garlic lover wants garlic to shine as the star ingredient of their savoury dishes. Garlic is by far one of the most prominent flavour powerhouses, readily available at grocery stores large and small. It can be used in its fresh form but is equally as popular as a powder. Fresh is ideal for marinades, stews, and sauces, while dried is perfect for rubs. It can also be used raw, cooked, or roasted to create different layers of flavour. Roasting garlic creates a sweeter more subtle flavour, while when using it raw brings out its more pungent side.
