We’ve been using the Dorot Gardens crushed garlic. It is crushed and pressed into a tray with little cubic depressions to hold the garlic and then frozen. It’s like tiny garlic ice cubes. We get them at Trader Joe’s. Each cube packs a wallop of garlic flavor and is indistinguishable from crushed fresh. The melt easily in some hot pasta or when sautéing vegetables. My husband still wants to use fresh garlic but it takes enough extra time that we don’t. These garlic cubes are ways ready to use and it makes a big difference.
