The secret I promised: how to maximize the flavor of garlic
Here’s the trick that very few people know: let the chopped garlic rest for 10 minutes BEFORE cooking it. During that time, the maximum amount of allicin is formed
If you throw it straight into the hot pan, you lose up to 90% of its potential. My readers thank me when they discover this!
