QUICK PAN-ROASTED GARLIC CLOVES

Step 5.
This method produces a firmer result with a toasty flavor. Pan-roasting is ideal for mellowing out garlic before using in salsas or uncooked table sauces like Habanero-Citrus Hot Sauce.

Step 6.
Place in a heavy skillet over medium heat: Garlic cloves, unpeeled, excess skin removed

Let the skin of the cloves blacken, and then turn them. Repeat until the cloves have charred spots on all sides, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool.
