I do the same with garlic. Usually two or three times of what the recipe says.

There is not a single reason in the world not to do so.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 40 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I do that! Recipes say "add one clove of garlic" I do at least 5. I swear recipes are written by vampires

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I do the same because I love garlic too .... unfortunately, this past winter, I discovered there is an upper limit to this 'one neat trick' ..... an entire head of raw garlic on a piece of toast is enough to wish you could physically remove your colon from own body for a few hours.

Raw garlic can overpower a dish. It's a lot harder to do with cooked garlic, though (unless you burn it, at which point it's not very pleasant in large quantities).

It is impossible to have enough onion.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’m always a bit sad when I caramelize a huge pan of onions for an hour and end up with a couple spoonfuls.

[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At least you did it correctly!

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

Hahaha recipe:

Time to prepare: 20 minutes

Step 1: prepare onions for caramelization

[–] HexPat@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago

No recipe should ever have only 1 clove of garlic. Unless it’s a recipe for 1 clove of garlic and even then you should at least double it.

[–] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Also make sure you are adding your garlic later in the cooking cycle. Too early and the flavor will evaporate.

There's actually a better way to get more garlic flavor into your dishes without adding more. The secret is to add the garlic at the last possible moment in the cooking process to reduce the garlic oxidation. The more it oxidizes the less flavor it has. It oxidizes the second you break the cell walls so waiting until the end of possible helps retain the flavor and make it more potent!

I've almost managed it with garlic, but that was an "I wonder what'll happen if I use 3 bulbs instead of 3 cloves" kinda moment

It was still phenomenal, it just had some remarkable... Staying power

[–] Schal330@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think the rule of thumb is to at a minimum double whatever the recipe asks for

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Yes, and also remember when a recipe says cloves, it really means bulbs.

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 6 points 2 months ago (5 children)

I realized how much I love adding garlic to soups, so I figured I might aswell try making a soup almost entirely from garlics. It was amazing.

More propaganda from big cheese smh

[–] threeduck@aussie.zone 26 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Climate Town just released a video about exactly this, how the dairy industry is colluding with the US government to offload cheese onto the American public.

[–] psoul@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Yo I watched this last night and this post leads me to believe I just live in the matrix…

I will always remember the moment when I realized all the "Got Milk?" posters in my elementary and middle school cafeterias were industry propaganda.

I might be an outlier here, but I absolutely think there is such a thing as too much cheese. My partner and I have regular disagreements about how much should be put on a pizza when we're making one at home.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Adding too much cheese can keep the the middle of the pizza from cooking properly, just like too much sauce or too many large chunks of vegetables with high water content. It takes a LOT of cheese to reach that point, but it is very possible when combined with the large chunks of vegetables.

My cardiologist disagrees.

nah, refined carbs are the real enemy

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Recipe: Add 1/4 cup of cheese.
Me: Adding 1 cup of cheese got it.

[–] Caffeinated_Sloth@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

One 4 cups of cheese, got it.

[–] Satellaview@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh, there is DEFINITELY a point where too much cheese becomes a mistake. Somewhere around 400%, I think. I felt sick for days…

I just watched the climate town video yesterday and that was a hell of a journey. I didn't realize how pervasive milk was in America, and it's not by choice

It's a curse. All my pasta dishes join the Mac and cheese family.

As someone that had to stop themselves from eating an entire tub of jalapeno pimento cheese with cheddar cheese Doritos earlier today, I can confirm.

Seriously. I sorta watched Netflix's You are what you eat documentary. If you haven't watched it, it's basically veganism propaganda, in my opinion. The point is some expert says something like "OMG, cheese is actually addictive!". It just baffled me. Like, what's the damn problem with cheese being addictive? If it is at all, it is addictive for me and it will be like that my whole life, because I feel empty if I don't include cheese in my diet... So, fuck yeah!

This was my motto for life, but now I'm lactose intolerant. Life is less... cheesy now :(

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lactaid was a miracle worker for me. I wasn't super intolerant. Milk was OK but cheese and ice cream would fuck me up. I have since... Grown out of it I guess? Pretty much everything is fine but a full slice of cheesecake might have me dying 20 minutes later.

Either way, eating cheese is worth risking intense gas pain and explosive shits.

Who needs the leftover quarter bag of shredded cheese anyway.

I do the same with anything that comes in a can. I'm not going to use a tenth of a tomato paste tomorrow. It goes in today.

Good recipes take that into account.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I added too much to a queso sauce once and then it hardened into a gooey block

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But then you just have a block of cheese, which you can eat
