Recipe

Peel the outer skin from the whole garlic and rinse thoroughly. Cut off the root end to a thickness of 0.5cm to allow the knife to easily penetrate during cooking.
Bring water to a boil in a pot, then add the prepared garlic and blanch for 3 minutes.
After blanching, drain the garlic through a sieve and let it cool slightly. Use a kitchen towel to completely dry the surface of the garlic cloves.
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan until hot, then add the prepared garlic.
Cook over medium heat, turning the garlic frequently, and sprinkle with 1–2 pinches of salt and a small amount of red pepper powder for seasoning.
Continue turning and cooking until the garlic turns evenly golden-brown, being careful not to burn it by shaking the pan occasionally.
Once the garlic is properly grilled, reduce the heat to low and add one large tablespoon of butter (2cm square).
Gently shake the pan to allow the melted butter to fully seep into the garlic, continuing until the butter is fully absorbed and reduced, without burning.

Cut the root ends of the whole garlic, blanch in boiling water for 3 minutes, then thoroughly dry with a kitchen towel.
Heat olive oil in a pan, add garlic, and cook over medium heat with a pinch of salt and a little red pepper powder until golden brown.
When the garlic is nicely cooked, lower the heat and add a large piece of butter, stirring gently to infuse flavor without burning.

Cooking tips

Avoid cutting the garlic root end too thin, as this can cause the knife to slip and risk injury; instead, confidently cut it at about 0.5cm thickness for safety.
Blanching garlic in boiling water first removes its sharp, pungent taste and ensures the inside becomes soft and tender.
Even a small amount of moisture on the garlic can cause oil to splatter violently when added to hot oil, so make sure the garlic is completely dry before cooking.
Once butter is added, high heat will quickly burn it and turn it dark; always reduce heat to low or use residual heat to finish cooking.

Recommended for

Those looking for a light, finger-food-style savory and slightly salty appetizer that pairs well with beer or wine.
Individuals wanting to experience a garlic preparation with a chewy exterior and a soft, sweet, buttery interior like a chestnut.
