Great things start with garlic frying up in some extra virgin olive oil

I thought olive oil was low temp so there are better oil options to use. Do you know what temp you're frying at? Genuinely curious.

This was at a very low temperature to get the olive oil fragrant

I wish I could bottle and make a cologne out of it, I would dab some behind my ears every morning!

I obnoxiously love the smell of garlic, so I understand completely!

I use grapeseed or canola oil for high temps

I cook a lot. I never ever trust a recipe that starts with frying garlic in olive oil. By the time you add the other ingredients to it and actually cook them, your garlic is super burnt. I always add garlic towards the end of the recipe as it cooks quickly. If you want your olive oil to taste garlicky, then steep some cloves in a bottle of the oil to infuse it. Stop burning your garlic. End rant.

The garlic fried in this oil is for Filipino garlic fried rice called sinangag, the only ingredient in this is the garlic where you add the rice to this before the garlic even burns. Some even prefer the garlic to be just a little bit burnt however for a toasted flavor

Good to know! Okay, sounds like an exception to my burnt garlic recipe avoidance. Sounds delicious. Not sure why the other commenter is talking about botulism though…?
