>In prison, dinner was always a big thing. We had a pasta course, and then we had a meat or a fish. Paulie did the prep work, he was doing a year for contempt and he had this wonderful system for doing the garlic. He used a razor and he used to slice it so thin that it would liquefy in the pan with just a little oil. It was a very good system.
Is this actually possible?
No it’ll burn to a black chip instantly. If not it’ll just go slightly tan.
You could of course burn your garlic on purpose to make black garlic oil.
I'm basing this on literally nothing and only a faint memory I have but I feel like I remember hearing in an interview that they greatly exaggerated that scene.
>not removing the core
Mamma mia
I've never made oil out of it, but I can confirm that thinly sliced then lightly burned garlic is incredibly fucking based
>he doesn’t just toss the garlic clove in whole, peel and all
Ngmi taste good
Based on what?
Hey guys do you have any good dishes involving gnocchi? I'm making some homemade and want a good dish.
Just crack it first then toss it in
It’s not really so much an oil as it is taking a vegetable oil and infusing it with black garlic, though apparently using vegetable oil in a pan is very bad for your health so I only use butter coconut oil and avocado oil nowadays.
Apparently it can cause botulism.
That's not how cooking works you moron
Tomato sauce and pecorino romano cheese grated
If you mean mafia prisoners having elaborate dinners, then yeah.
What part of my post do you have an issue with Mario?
As with all Italian dishes the fewer ingredients the better. Stick with something easy
A friend of mine developed some nerve disease I don’t remember what it’s called but according to her she had extreme muscle fatigue to the point where she couldn’t brush her teeth without her BFs help. Pain, drowsiness and a plethora of other symptoms, she then switched diets to I think paleo or something similar and only cooks in animal fats and is slowly getting better.
It wouldn't burn to a black chip if you did it correctly
If I had to eat pasta every single night I’d tell these Italians to fuck off
I was thinking crushed tomato, mozzerella cheese, spicy sausage, and gnocchi in a skillet but sounds good too.
There's absolutely nothing special about this scene.
It's comfy
Is that why I added “or slightly tanned”? Or what is your conclusion
Your idea sounds good, I’m all for a bit of meat to cut through it all.
how about a Jew Mafia version of this scene where they're slicing pennies instead of garlic
based on a true story
>David had this wonderful system for doing the book, something something liquidize in the banks with just a little coercion
I like to grate it, am I committing a cooking sin by not slicing it?
not funny
No, as long as you're not using a food processor.
No grating is fine, if anything a grated ginger would “liquify”
Grated ginger is superior for most things, and if you’re not grating just throw the cloves in whole then ladle them out after.
Speaking of grating, if you guys like cooking, get a microplane, they’re fucking Amazing. 100 better than a box grater and I’m not even exagerating
No, hand grater directly into the skillet
best way is to make it into a fine paste by grinding it with some salt
What's the difference between a microplane and a hand grater?
Der Jude offenbart sich, herr Kommandant, ich habe einen gefunden
Yeah, mobsters don't actually get comfy little vacation homes with tasty home-cooked meals as their quarters in prison. They might have it a little better off than some of the other inmates, but not nearly to that extent.
That being said the movie was based off the book written by a former mafioso, so I wouldn't take everything he said as the truth. It should be obvious but mobsters lie.
One is a microplane and the other is a hand grater
I guess that's the benefit of replacing my hand grater with a microplane? They look basically the same. Is it just a kleenex vs hand tissue thing?
The difference between a blowjob and an unlubed hand
>I'm basing this on literally nothing
Not based
Well seeing past the fact that a box grater sucks
The micro plane is sharper, holds its edge much much much longer, is easier to hold, much much easier to clean, grates finer, and takes less space.
It’s the best grater there is for grating ginger garlic cheese and whatever else needs fine grating
But I was talking about a hand grater, not a box grater. That's why I'm thinking it's the same thing except a microplane has a logo on it while mine doesn't
Well my sister had a handgrater and I got her the microplane for Christmas and she says it’s night and day. But maybe she was being nice
Frömmler
I'll grate your sister pal don't worry
I doubt it.
Except for how it's absolutely ridiculous. Nothing close to that ever happened.
Yes, that's what he said.
I tried Babish's version of the recipe from the movie
It was breddy gud
