Pickled Garlic

[lindag]

I just ran across this but now I don't recall where; it could have been while doing my online shopping.  When I read about it (google)  it looks like something I'd really like.

Christopher Ranch offers it.  I ordered some.

Anyone tried it?  Or perhaps made their own?

Have had olives stuffed with garlic, which pickles the cloves, and they are delicious! Nice to have along with cheese and crackers.

Sweet and sour pickled garlic (糖醋蒜 -táng cù suàn) is very common in Chinese cuisine. Sold bottled or loose in many supermarkets and markets. Either whole bulbs or single cloves.

 

 

 

One unusual treatment is Laba Garlic (腊八蒜 - là bā suàn), which is green.

 

 

Then we have soy sauce pickled garlic (酱香蒜 - jiàng xiāng suàn), a Guangxi specialty.

 

 

I often serve the latter with shiitake and pork stir fry.

 A couple of years ago I decided to make pickled garlic. I wrote about it and recorded my efforts in this topic. Maybe it will help you if you decide to make your own.

By the way, @liuzhou's picture of the soy garlic is the one that sent me down the original rabbit hole.

@Tropicalsenior

I had remembered that you undertook that project but couldn't remember where you posted the details.Thanks for the link.

 

I will add that even the commercially produced Laba green garlic varies in the intensity of the colour. The one I posted above is particularly green; other examples can be a lot less so.

Jessica makes pickled garlic and uses the brine in all kinds of stuff.  I think we use the brine more than we do the garlic.
