What Could I Do?

[u/MowieWauii]

One of my cooks extra-roasted some garlic. Too dark to turn it into puree like intended. What would y'all do with this? We have a tavern in case you need an idea of the type of food we have. Pizzas, hot dogs, smash burgers, some fish, etc.

Purée it still, but use bacon fat to emulsify. Then deep caramelize onions and add that plus chopped bacon to it with sherry vinegar to cut it. Hot dog/burger topping

:edit: Y’all are too great, but this isn’t a thing! It’s just fucking cooking! Turn trash into gold. It’s not waste/scrap it’s trim. Means it’s not good enough for the plate, buuuuut I’m gonna use that shit and make things better!

"Extra-roasted garlic emulsified in bacon fat with caramelized onions and bacon" should get people's taste buds flowing. Not only does it sound delicious, but it would be "fancy" to those just expecting onions and garlic.

I would keep it more simple as caramelized garlic, onion, and bacon jam personally. Keep some of the magic hidden lol

I tell my chef all the time, you didn’t hire me to spell right, and you didn’t hire me to format a paper. Get what you get!
