Garlic’s Grand Entrance

In cooking, garlic plays the starring role in a flavor-packed twist. Hold off on adding garlic until the final act of your aromatic symphony. How does it work? Garlic, while bold, can turn bitter if cooked for too long. Its water content is lower than that of onions and other cooking aromatics.

By introducing it last, you ensure a dynamic, pungent burst of flavor that dazzles your dish without bitterness stealing the show. Since overcooked garlic’s flavor is bitter and hardly savory, adding it last helps, especially after sautéing other ingredients.
