Recipe Review Caramelised Garlic Paste - For Food's Sake page 29

[judydawn]

I made another batch of this tonight and attempted to double it with 6 largish heads of garlic.  Just doesn't work, there are too many of them in there and they don't move. I ended up taking the extra 3 out.  6 smaller heads may work but it is no trouble making a batch whenever it is needed so from now on I will just stick to the recipe.

Thanks Judy,good to know this

Thats a shame as 3 heads dont make much.

Yesterday I added 2 tablesppons to my burgers, 300g mince, 1 onion, 1 zuchini, 1 carrot, breadcrumbs, herbs & 2 eggs. The burgers were yummy, coudnt really taste the garlic.

Are we meant to taste it or does it just enhance the favour??

This is on my to do list - so after reading all your comments I must make this over the weekend.

Hally, I'm sure the concentrated garlic paste is only a flavour enhancer as a lot of Tenina's bits and pieces are.  I don't use as much as you and I find it takes everything to the next level.  I wouldn't really want to taste the flavour of garlic but I love the boost this paste gives.  A lot of things leave you with the feeling it just needs that little something extra, well to me this is that something extra. I'm still working on my first batch but after making the second batch last night so that I can give some to a friend today, I have my next little pot all ready to go. It will definitely be added to my Christmas hampers this year.

I do love these little jars of recipe enhancers of Tenina 's

Thanks JD, the burgers were fantastic. I just  thiught you were meant to taste the caramelised garlic, now I know its to enhance the flavour it works really well.

Its going into most thinks, do t think it will ast more than 2 weeks.

It is so easy to make Hally so it won't be a problem whipping up another batch.

This paste makes the best pizza bianca.

Make dough, i use jamie olivers dough.
Heat stone, lay dough on, put dimples with fingers in dough, brush with evvo , brush with garlic paste,  sprinkle a little sea salt, add rosemary & cook in preheated hot oven.


Yummmmm

Hally I use Jamie's recipe too and made focaccia  the other day exactly the same. Used up ALL my paste. Making more tomorrow but doubling it.

Love this book!

Gert,

Funny you should say that I finished mine tonight too. This padte will never last long in this house.

I also used the pink salt, jd very kindly sent me some for my birthday. Thanks Judy

My fingers smell good enough to eat

The paste just turns the pizza to  WOW.

I also added it to tinned tomatoes & basil for anther pizza, fantastic tomato base  

When you made the foccacia which Jamie dough recipe did you use.

Hally I think Jamie's recipe for pizza and focaccia are the same from memory . Here is a pic of a recent one.

[Halex]

Gert, did you put the dough in a square cake tin? I have never thought of that, my foccacias are just free formed, I make the one in the edc a lot. Might give the pizza dough recipe as bread.  Do tiu use 500g flour?

Here is the recipe I used from Jamie Oliver which you can find everywhere.

21 gm of yeast
30 gms honey or sugar
625 gms warm water
I kilo bread flour
30 gms of salt

He does it his way but I just chucked it all in the Thermomix and kneaded it for 5 minutes before wrapping in in my silicone mat to rise. Then I slapped it and stretched it onto my oven tray, let it rise again for a bit before poking at it and putting toppings on. The one you see in the pic had an olive oil and basil base then grape tomatoes plus other stuff. Turned out more like a huge pizza than a focaccia. Very yummy and great the next day, the day after and so on😜😜😜

Wow, thanks Gert.

How many people in your house to feed?
