How Russian cuisine cooks with garlic
Russian cooking is warming and substantial — rich braises and dumplings finished with the cooling tang of dill and soured cream. When Russian cooks work with garlic, they reach for dill, soured cream, onions, butter, mushrooms and bay, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering, boiling, sautéing and searing.
The aromatic foundation of savoury cooking almost everywhere — pungent raw, sweet and mellow when cooked. In this collection it's most often cooked with fine sea salt, onion, dill, buckwheat, citrus juice or vinegar and butter. The dishes here span russian classics ready in as little as 35 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.

Choosing & preparing garlic
How to choose
Pick firm, heavy heads with tight, papery skin and no green shoots or soft spots. Fresh garlic far outperforms jarred pre-minced, which tastes flat and slightly sour.
Prep & storage
Crush to release more of its pungent compounds, slice for a milder bite, or roast whole until jammy and sweet. Add minced garlic late and keep it moving — it burns and turns bitter in seconds.
Nutrition
Eaten in small amounts, but a source of allicin and other sulphur compounds linked to heart and immune benefits.
Classic flavour partners: olive oil, chilli, ginger, parsley, lemon, butter
