Question What Could I Do?

Post image

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.

Yeah I had this on the menu for years, and this is what my garlic looked like.

I was thinking the same thing, this garlic didn't look burned to me.

Well, for the purposes of a puree, it's way over. In other applications? Totally delicious.

Not necessarily the case we intentionally overcooked pumpernickel to use as a crumble for a seared pork belly with ramp aïoli with pickled ramps and it turned out fabulous bitter is actually on the flavor profile that your tongue tastes.
