Garlic Broth image

Whole cloves of garlic, uncut and simmered gently for an hour with aromatics, yield a mild, sweet tasting, comforting broth that makes an ideal vegetarian stand-in for chicken broth. According to nutritionist Johnny Bowden, garlic needs to be crushed, sliced, or chopped in order for its compounds to be released. For this broth, I just crush the cloves lightly by leaning on them with the flat side of my knife. The less crushed they are, the milder the broth will taste.

Time 1h

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 heads garlic
2 quarts water
1 tablespoon olive oil
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf, a couple of sprigs each thyme and parsley, and a fresh sage leaf
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan full of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice and water. Separate the head of garlic into cloves and drop them into the boiling water. Blanch for 30 seconds, then transfer to the ice water. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then drain and remove the skins from the garlic cloves. They'll be loose and easy to remove. Lightly crush the cloves by pressing on them with the flat side of a chef's knife.
  • Place the garlic cloves in a large saucepan with the remaining ingredients and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 1 hour. Strain. Taste and adjust salt.

This is the best garlic broth I've ever had! I'll definitely be making it again and again.

This broth is great, but it's a bit too time-consuming to make. I'll probably only make it on special occasions.

I followed the recipe exactly but my broth didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This broth was a bit too strong for my taste, but I think that's just because I used too much garlic. Next time I'll use less.

I was skeptical at first, but this garlic broth is actually really good. It's got a nice, rich flavor and it's perfect for sipping on a cold day.

This garlic broth was a lifesaver! I had a cold and couldn't taste or smell anything, but this broth was so flavorful that I could still enjoy it. It was also very easy to make, and I'm sure I'll be making it again soon.
