13709 Garlic Chips 1 hr 25 mins 25 mins About 1/2 cup Wed Oct 29 10:50:00 -0700 2008 Tue Nov 25 16:52:31 -0800 2008 Easy Latin CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/13709 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 00:52:31 GMT For a punch of garlic with some crunch Sprinkle on top of almost anything to add a punch of garlic flavor. Garlic gets thinly sliced, dipped in coconut milk, and briefly fried. The result is a subtle garlic-flavored crisp that’s great as a garnish but addictive enough to be a snack on its own.

Game plan: The garlic chips can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days; place a paper towel in the container with them to absorb moisture.

  • Trim roots from garlic cloves and slice paper thin. Combine garlic and coconut milk in a small bowl, stir to coat, and marinate for 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Strain garlic and discard coconut milk. Line a plate with paper towels; set aside.
  • Place oil in a medium frying pan and heat over medium heat to 275°F, about 5 minutes. (To check the temperature, drop a piece of garlic in the oil. It should start to bubble slightly around the edges.)
  • Add reserved garlic and fry, stirring constantly, until just starting to turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to the prepared plate. Season with salt. (The garlic will continue to color as it dries and crisps.)
