Seleccionar y preparar ajo
como elegir
Elige cabezas firmes y pesadas con piel papelosa apretada y sin brotes verdes ni puntos blandos. El ajo fresco supera muy por encima el pre-picado en frasco, que tiene un sabor plano y ligeramente agrio.
Preparación y almacenamiento
Aplasta para liberar más de sus compuestos punzantes, corta en rebanadas para un bocado más suave, o asa todo hasta que quede mermelada y dulce. Añade ajo picado tarde y mantenlo en movimiento — se quema y se vuelve amargo en segundos.
Nutrición
Consumido en pequeñas cantidades, pero una fuente de alicina y otros compuestos de azufre relacionados con beneficios cardíacos e inmunológicos.
Socios de sabores clásicos: aceite de oliva, chile, jengibre, perejil, limón, mantequilla
