The Joy of Garlic Peeling

I think I came across this video from Saveur on the illustrious Seth Fein’s facebook feed.  I’m not sure but I remember that I was running late for work that morning but I sat there and played it several times over, utterly fascinated.   So the other day I when I asked Ernie to peel garlic for me (he’s a wonderful sous chef) we decided to try this.

Oh MY God!

You HAVE to try this. 

Here's our attempt:

I actually didn’t need all that garlic last night so I just poached it in some olive oil and then used some of the flavored oil to sauté some lovely napa cabbage and then some haddock dusted in flour and five spice powder.  I put the rest of the oil and garlic in the refrigerator and enjoy my garlicy meal.  MAN I love haddock….and garlic!
