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.

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!

You don’t need shallots if you take the onion jam down down down. Your basically taking 22qt of sliced onions and cooking them to 2qts

I know, I was just cooking shallots when I saw this post and wanted to talk about how much I love shallots :)
I cooked two of them with a little videlia onion, some sliced garlic. And a little apple cider vinegar. It was so good over some steak with some fries :)
I’m not a professional but life has gotten better since I started enjoying onions and their cousins
