Garlic Suggestions?

I want more garlic in my diet. I like what I read about it.

I take a odor free garlic capsule but I want to start adding real
crushed garlic bulbs to my diet.

Unfortunately, for me, the garlic when raw is hot and much too
strong.

Recently, I read that cooking it more than a few minutes (6) robs it
of nutrients.

So what do you suggest as an easy to fix dish that uses a couple of
cloves of crushed garlic but cooked no more than 6 minutes.

try recipes that call for a quick saute of it. You don't cook it more
than 1 or 2 minutes in that format.

If you use the dream fields, pasta aglio y oilo

i smash cloves w/the side of a knife to unwrap them and squash them a bit
then i sautee in olive oil until they are soft, somewhat browned and even a
little fried black in spots. Then - mmm, they are sweet and garlicy and you
can just eat them like candy

i use a very small cast iron pan to do it. you can fry up as much as you can
fit in the pan and then have as many as you want per day. i can eat like 15
cloves at once that way!!

Sounds like just what I need to do.

After about an hour after eating 2 cloves yesterday, I got right in
the face of my SO and commented on the book she was reading. I
expected a response but got none.

So I'm asking you, do you exude a garlic odor after consuming that
much garlic? That's what I'm shooting for.

LOL you want to stink? Well, i dunno if you're kidding or not but i would
imagine it depends on your metabolism. I don't get garlicy but if i eat
onions raw i feel like i smell oniony for days.

are you going for health benefits or the 51st way to leave your lover?

I've known people who ate so much damn garlic that they stunk to high
heavens.

You don't really expect garlic to be some kind of miracle food, do you?

You can buy pickled or marinated garlic in a jar that isn't hot.

I like Dr. Russell Blaylock's website and nutritional advice at
Newsmax.com. He is a big fan of aged garlic:
"Taking aged garlic extract is another way to get miraculous results.
This special formulation of garlic extract is aged up to a year and is
the most extensively researched form of the herb. Countless studies have
shown that aged garlic extract increases HDL cholesterol while lowering
total cholesterol.
Aged garlic extract also:
• Prevents LDL from oxidizing
• Improves blood flow
• Thins the blood slightly
• Acts as a powerful antioxidant
• Improves immunity (diabetics are • immune-suppressed)
AND
• Reverses existing atherosclerosis "

I'll have to try the 2 minute saute for garlic. I have a tough time with

raw garlic even in small amounts in salad.

So YOU do expect garlic to be some kind of miracle food.

Expecting miracles is likely to leave you disappointed.
