- Used a ton in chinese food stir fry - got one little taste from a larger piece, nothing else.
etcetera... it is basically wasted on cooking. ![Crying](images/smilies/cry.gif)
I had thought to make garlic powder with the extra but I can only guess that it too will be tasteless if used in cooking. ![Disappointed](images/smilies/frown.gif)
What to do with it? (aside from the 'toum' recipe that uses a whole cup of raw cloves ![Approve](images/smilies/yes.gif) ![Laugh](images/smilies/laugh.gif) )

Add the garlic late in the cooking the more you cook it the milder it gets.
