      If you separate the cloves, place them in a jar, close the lid then shake it vigorously for a minute or so it peels the individual cloves.

    For the tiny bulbs of garlic, you should cut off the tops, cover in olive oil within a foil envelope and roast. They will squeeze out easily...no peeling necessary. Then freeze in cubes. It really saved my fingers toward the end of preserving 😂

    • @zaria5785
      @zaria5785 Год назад +5

      Yes!!! Those are delicious.
      Also dropping whole clean garlic clusters in a steamer and steam for 10 min (yes with the paper skins on except cut the roots off). Then drop them in a large wide opened glass jar and cover them with apple cider vinegar. Leaving it in a brown paper bag in your basement or garage to ferment. The garlic will turn black in 6mo to a year but it is absolutely delicious and sweetened and perfect for the holiday time. It elevates any dish it is eaten with and mostly fish or Turkey or other meat dishes. The pungent odor is gone and so is the sharp stingy bite and all remains is some sweetness and soft flesh full of flavor. Guaranteed you’ll go thru a ton of garlic quickly as it’s so tasty. It is a treat and a great conversation starter. 🧄

    Love watching you manage your homestead so efficiently.
    I have a tip for making your compound butter logs; place the butter on the long side of the paper rather than the short side so you can twist the ends. This will create tension and a cylindrical shape. I slip those logs into paper towel tubes to maintain the round shape and then freeze. I use those paper towel tubes for frozen cookie dough logs as well so I get really round sliced cookies. Very useful! Give this s as try!

    If you’re struggling to get big airy ciabatta it’s two things most likely. The hydration of your dough (ciabatta should be a very soft dough with a relatively large amount of water) and the second is fermentation. Most recipes like a cold ferment so it can slowly build up air and develop gluten.

    You could roast a lot of that garlic. Just chop off the tops snd bottoms, roll it up in a sheet of foil, pour some oil and salt on them all, then pop it in the oven for 45 min. or until soft. Once it's done, just squeeze it out of each head. You could make more butter or oil, or even dehydrate it. Roasting really makes a great flavor!

    Becca, I know this is now a bit late in the day for you as you have completed your garlic task, but I have a tip for your future garlic prep and for those watching. With all those smaller time consuming garlic bulbs and the bigger ones, place the bulb non root down on the table and press on the bulb. The cloves come apart quickly that way and really reduce the time of peeling. You will find that in most cases doing it this way will also mean you dont have to use a meat tenderiser etc to get the cloves to separate and dont even have to cut the top and bottom off the bulb to separate the cloves. Hope this makes sense.

    • @mimiashford5544
      @mimiashford5544 Год назад +1

      The smallest bulbs are also good for just throwing into soups or stews that may cook for longer periods of time, cleaned well, of course, bc they will still impart flavor & you don't have the aggravation of 'processing' them.

    If you plan on dehydrating any of the garlic, The Purposeful Pantry (Darcy) showed us that she takes as much paper off the bulb and the cloves, cuts the roots, cuts the tops then blitzes the cloves in her chopper - then dehydrates. I did do this recently - because peeling garlic is tedious. Anyhow, once dehydrated, she powders it all. Works amazingly without the aggravation of having to get all the dang paper off each little clove.

    I giggled as I watched you start with the big garlic first. I peeled my garlic today and I always start any job with the smallest so when I get to the end it goes faster..lol. I agree if you are going to get the kitchen dirty, do it big. I'm canning, dehydrating, making refrigerator pickling and freeze drying, getting it done to have a relaxing day tomorrow. Have a great weekend!!

    Hey Becky FYI there is such a thing as "French Bread" Pizza. It's pretty popular, enough so that it is sold in the frozen pizza section. So what you made is just a version of that idea. I used to buy it for quick snacks for my kids & their friends when they where over. As for the garlic turn out, I had a similar outcome of my harvest this year & I did water mine. This season was just weird our weather didn't warm up until the end of May early June so much so I didn't get my first flowers on my zinnias planted in early April until last week, and you know those are normally 6 weeks from seed to bloom just stunted their growth... anyway as far as that garlic goes you had so much last year you had to call in reinforcements to get through it all. Count it as a blessing this year that you had just enough you could proccess it yourself without being overwhelmed & still have your years worth goal met. No you didn't get to fellowship with friends & family while you did it this time, but the first year with the baby you don't need to feel overwhelmed any more then you have to be. Taking things at your stride is better to get into the first year swing of new Motherhood better for Mom & baby not to have a stressed out Mommy. Anyway hope all continues to go well dear. And of course as always..

    Hi Becky. That pizza bread looked yummy 😋 I made garlic butter too but it was too strong of a taste for me because it was raw garlic. The second time I've made it I roasted my garlic in the oven. That was a success for me. It tastes so much sweeter and not as strong like raw garlic. Hope you like the taste of your butter.

    CUCUMBER KIMCHI RECIPE
    Hi from Poland Becky 🙂 I've said it once and I'll say it again - you're such an inspiration. Thanks to you, I'm in my second year of gardening this year. For some reason it's doing way worse than last year. Anyway, I think you should be having cucumbers already. I know You love gochugaru so I think you might be interested in a cucumber kimchi recipe (I've been making it for two years now and I love the crunch, sweetness and spiceness of it also, I discovered gochugaru through Korean cuisine and I can't cook without it anymore). Just for the the record, English is not my first language so forgive me any mistakes I might make. I'll just put the recipe down here for everybody to enjoy 🙂
    - 3-6 cucumbers (cut into eighths or thick slices - I prefer the slices)
    - 1 onion very thin slices (I discovered I prefer it without the onion)
    - 3-5 cloves of garlic (chop or use a garlic press)
    - green onion (as much or little as your heart desires 😉)
    - half of a julienned carrot (I usually add way more for the sweetness)
    - 2 tablespoons of salt
    - 1 tablespoon of sugar
    - 3 tablespoons of gochugaru (or again, as much or as little as your heart desires)
    - 3 tablespoons of fish sauce (you can use soy sauce if you prefer)
    - 3 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds (I sometimes use sesame oil instead)
    Put the cut cucumbers into a bowl, add 2 tbs of salt, mix and leave for about 10 minutes. Then rinse. Mix all the other ingredients (add a bit of water if needed) ad mix with the cucumbers. Leave them in the fridge for minimum 12 hours and enjoy.
    You can store them in the fridge for a few days (in my opinion they taste even better on the second or third day).
    For everybody who made it till the end of this hope you have a lovely day 😘

    Have you ever tried cutting each head in half, roasting them, and then freezing the paste? Not sure if that would be easier since you can just squeeze the cloves out? You’d only be able to make the frozen pucks instead of confit and infused though.

  • @giselacappiello9110
    @giselacappiello9110 Год назад +2

    For the remaining tiny garlics you might want to consider doing garlic paste? Just cut the tops of the bulbs off and put them in the oven with a bit of olive oil, and then after cooked you just squish the contents of the cloves out like a paste. Way better than peeling them one by one, in my opinion!

    Hi Becky. I've been making bread for a while now to replace store bought, additive laden bread. I have found that if I add 1/2 cup of rolled oats (I use the Uncle Toby's brand which is quite fine, so maybe what is called quick oats in the US) to a 3 cup of flour loaf, the bread stays soft and fresh for several days. I don't notice the oats in the bread, even when making white bread or raisin bread, and it adds nutrition. Just thought I would share in case it helps someone.

The instructions advised placing the garlic with the peels still on into a large empty jar and aggressively shaking it. I have to tell you that the one time I tried this, it worked like magic. I was ecstatic with the results. Literally, the peels started to shed, and within a few minutes, all the peels came off the garlic.
