Garlic Flakes 80g
Our Garlic Flakes offer a convenient way to add robust, savoury garlic flavour to your cooking. These dehydrated pieces rehydrate beautifully in sauces, marinades, and rubs, providing a classic garlic taste that’s perfect for when fresh isn't available.
A sprinkle adds savoury depth to countless dishes:
Slow-Cooked Sauces & Stews: Add to pasta sauces, chilis, stews, and casseroles at the beginning of cooking to allow them to fully rehydrate and meld into the dish.
Dry Rubs & Marinades: A key ingredient in dry rubs for meats, and in marinades where the liquid will rehydrate the flakes.
Breads & Dressings: Mix into dough for garlic bread, or add to salad dressings and mayonnaise.
Seasoned Butters & Oils: Stir into softened butter with herbs for garlic butter, or infuse in oil.
Sprinkle & Season: Crush slightly between your fingers and sprinkle over pizzas, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
How to Use: For the best texture, add to dishes with ample liquid or a long cooking time. For a more intense flavour, you can toast the flakes lightly in a dry pan before using.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to maintain maximum potency and prevent clumping.
