<p>Simon has taken the news that Yumi started introducing a tiny bit of her digestive nemesis - GARLIC - into her diet, and he's run with it.</p><br><p>Inspired by the recipe from <a href="https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-au/products/slow-book-gizzi-erskine-9780008291945?gad_campaignid=17416648689&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADFDvN2OqBHJI9xDZhzOAPVS6I4Sm&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAnoXNBhAZEiwAnItcGzz8DimRzwFM0tya8K7rjU-8lGEovw8QOdiNZ3-SZDXumpPRyqGdJxoCmNYQAvD_BwE&amp;sku=GOR010185709&amp;utm_campaign=17852412171&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_source=google" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Gizzi Erskine's seminal cookbook, SLOW</a>, Simon has a way to do garlic that is pretty magical and also, supremely easy.</p><br><p>Tumble 4-5 whole bulbs of garlic with the tops sliced off into a tiny saucepan. </p><p>Cover it with good quality olive oil.</p><p>Add herbs like rosemary, thyme to the oil IF YOU WANT.</p><p>Gently and slowly cook until bubbles are forming around the bulbs - for 20-30 mins. Strictly DO NOT BOIL.</p><p>Remove the garlic cloves. They are available to be used as a condiment, smooshed onto toast, blended through a salad dressing or part of a bean gratin.</p><p>The oil, once cooled, can be used to flavour anything at all ...with fewer digestive complaints! </p><br><p>And NO, Simon did *not* provide the show notes he said he would. However, we will do a whole episode on the Bean Gratin he mentions. Next! On your 5 Minute Food Fix. xxx</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
