Additional Tips
Each person bruises garlic on (possibly buttered) bread.
You can also cook a sauce with bruised garlic cloves and chicken juices.
'One of my favourite recipes - YUM... Don't be put off by the seemingly large quantity of garlic... young garlic definitely works best though as it's a much more subtle taste' (WildGarlic).
