I am wondering about pickled garlic, specifically the type that you get in the grocery store olive bar. Its hard, white and crunchy... incredibly tasty!
I've tried to find a recipe online to make this type of preserved garlic, but i cant find anything.
From what i am gathering, most online recipes call for normal garlic cloves... which is the common, easy to find softneck garlic. I have added this kind of garlic to almost everything I have ever pickled... from vinegar picked eggs to fermented pickles... and this garlic does not turn into the mild crunchy snack you get at the deli olive bar.
I'm thinking the difference is that the garlic used in the deli is of the hardneck variety, which is harder to find, since its harder to grow and doesnt store as long... but since there are no correct recipes online, im not sure if this is even the difference.
SO... after all that... my question is, does anybody know how to make crunchy mild pickled garlic, and not the soggy rough tasting kind i keep ending up with?
~~~ this is my first post, so if i put this in the wrong section, or did something wrong, please dont flame me too much, thanks! ~~~
