My husband bought 10 bags of Mego Garlic (100 cloves garlic in total!), so I made homemade garlic oil.
My husband loves Mego garlic because it’s fresh, easy to use (no need to peel), and carefully grown without pesticides thanks to the help of people with disabilities and the elderly.
Mego Garlic can be eaten whole, including the sprouts and roots, and has a more mineral rich and milder taste than regular garlic.
This recipe can also be made with regular garlic.
