It kicks every other garlic knot to the curb. A round of pizza dough is stuffed with whole, roasted garlic cloves and literally tied up into a softball sized purse. Basted in extra virgin olive oil and cooked for 15 minutes, the interior remains tender while the outside hardens to a chewy shell. It’s hard to believe it’s not deep fried. The intact, still slightly crisp, nuggets of garlic carry none of the sharp please-don’t-kiss-me flavor. Instead they are transformed into a savory essence of warmth that will keep me coming back for more and more.
I’ve never wanted a garlic knot so badly. Maybe a trip to LA is in order just for this? (Serious Eats: Milo & Olive in Santa Monica)
