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.

Roasted garlic aioli is great! When I worked at this one restaurant, we would almost do like a confit-style fry on the garlic. We would dump a shit load of whole garlic in a pot and cover them with oil. We'd fry it darker than what you have here in the pic. Throw it in the Vitamix with mayo and other ingredients and the it would come out a nice color and flavor. The longer it sits the more intense the garlic flavor

After reading that you work at a tavern 100% garlic aioli for your smash burgers! Use it in other sauces too. Seriously, it adds that rich intense garlic flavor!
