Notes for Getting It Right

  • Use the best olive oil you can afford.
  • Rub the garlic on hot toast.
  • Use one clove for four slices.
  • Top with chopped tomato for a variation.

Ingredient Swaps

  • An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the stand-in usually given when you are out of fresh garlic; it will not brown the same way, and it burns easily, so add it with the liquid.

Serving Suggestions

  • Bean soup
  • Tomato salad
  • Cured meats
  • Red wine
