Hey Tex, I enjoy your style of cooking. But do you really carmelize onions and garlic together? Overcooked garlic is very bitter to my taste buds. I love garlic, so this is a serious question to me. :)


it may be the wrong or unconventional thing to do but yes, I do:LOL: so far I've never burnt the garlic but I know how easy it's to do and what a horrible stench there is........I do start the onions first and then add the garlic toward the end........

Okay, to be clear, because as I mentioned, garlic is a passion for me (I am half Hungarian): sounds like you have the onions almost done carmelizing and then you throw in your chopped garlic? You then cook the new mixture but not to the point the garlic gets burned? If correct, that is exactly what I do - but when I put in the minced garlic, I also add some freshly chopped herbs (if I have them). If not I use bottled cumin, oregano and anything else that fits my fancy at the time. When the smelll is right, I add my stock and anything else that I want to cook with the rice. It is never the same twice. :ROFLMAO:
 
Hey, Marty, I must be part Hungarian 'cause that's the way I cook and if a recipe doesn't call for garlic it goes in anyway!! unless it's a delicate Asian dish and then I have to debate it :):)

That's right, Tex! My Holy Trinity is onions, garlic and spices. If your lip doesn't sweat, it isn't hot enough. (This is a product of my upbringing. :wOOt2:)
 
that seals the deal......I'm officially part Hungarian...........
:ROFLMAO: Welcome. Now if I could find out how my grandmother used to make Hungarian Peasant Bread for my grandfather (whole garlic cloves in the dough), I would be in Heaven. When I was a boy I always hung around the several Matriarch women in my extended family. I learned a lot of things I use in cooking today, but I wasn't interested in breads then. Darn! So I can't make tortillas or flat breads. I am "getting there" with breads I can do in my bread machine and even with sourdough starter. I have googled it, but so far no luck. It was a flat, round bread; real crunchy and 'sticky'; it was loaded with whole cloves of garlic. MMMMmmm :bounce:
 
Well - should be do an ethnicity poll? So far (me included), at least in this post anyway, the Hungarians are dominating! :chef:
 
this is all mbasiszta's fault.........I promise you.....I had nothing to do with it...........:):) sorry, Kitchen Elf.......but I was really waiting for Vickie to come back with her ingredients .........jest kidding.....ok get the hint......:):)
