Garlic gives a specific aroma and taste to a number of dishes, so right here we are letting you in on some tricks for cooking with it:
- In order to make the old garlic smell less, we need to remove the green sprout from the inside of the cloves;
- We all know how annoying it is when the flakes stick on our hands when peeling garlic. In order to prevent this, we must first briefly put the garlic head in a bowl of cold water;
