Pickled Garlic - Tips and Tricks
• To easily peel the garlic cloves, soak it in cold water for 2 hours. Husk will become softer and will easily move away. The same technique will prevent cloves from browning.
• For marinating it is better to use small jars, the volume of which does not exceed 0.5 liters. The snack is quite spicy, not consumed in large quantities, and large containers will be inconvenient.
