So a perfect lazy weekend project. <br />I also froze the rest, since it made A LOT. I laid the extras out on a cookie sheet, making sure none of them were touching. I covered them with foil, and let them freeze for a while-- maybe an hour? Then put them in a freezer bag.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04315692796939968709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741525777121465991.post-14908596760371450892010-03-23T19:25:21.610-04:002010-03-23T19:25:21.610-04:00That actually looks fun.

Makes that lovely crispy skin like at the restaurants. Thank you for finally pointing out this simple technique to me. And mine was om noms too.<br />Except, how do the restaurants get theirs so much drier? got a theory? Do they dry the tofu more - fry it faster/hotter? hmmmmJJJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04757093928245293995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741525777121465991.post-76825509287638956642010-03-06T22:05:42.753-05:002010-03-06T22:05:42.753-05:00Yay, I'm so happy you liked it!

You can also salvage the tips of the cloves you cut off and throw them in a ravioli ragu the next day.<br /><br />BTW, the appetizer I make that you like (well, I think you do but I know Claire loves) is to roast the garic in its foil suit in the middle of a tray of quartered Roma tomatoes. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt (helps dehydrate), pepper and a smidge of garlic powder. Oven should be at 400. Tomotates should roast until slightly browned. The garlic might need a bit more time. When able to handle garlic, mash into one log of goat cheese. Slice a baguette into thin rounds and toast them up a bit in the oven.
