Garlic salt, garlic granules? Something that I could have in when I haven't got time to shop for the fresh stuff. :confused:

TIA.

    There is no such thing! Get some fresh garlic.

    I agree with Ben500, it's hard to beat fresh garlic. I've never tried it, but have been told that garlic puree is quite good.

    You can see some of the alternatives and how to use them here.

    I agree there is nothing like the real thing but the garlic paste in a tube is Ok if you have no fresh garlic. I keep a couple of bulbs in a terracotta garlic jar ( it came from Lakeland years ago) and it is OK for a few weeks but it eventually dries out.

    I've used this before:

    5012818160154_200.jpg

    It's ready crushed garlic in vinegar. The taste of the vinegar evaporates when cooking.

    It's not quite as nice as fresh garlic, but it does taste good.
    Here I go again on my own....

    I always use the ready crushed in a jar, far easier and tastes just the same
    I haven't got one!

    I have a tube of garlic puree on standby in the fridge but I prefer the real thing.

    I buy ready peeled frozen garlic cloves from my local asian shop. This time I have gone one further and bought them frozen, peeled and crushed. :D
