Minced garlic is a spice that gives your dishes a piquant aroma. It is trendy for Mediterranean cuisine; it seasons the meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, and dips. The garlic plant belongs to the lily family and comes from West Asia, and is to be found all over the world today. The garlic cloves are used fresh, dried, or matured (black garlic) for seasoning. The dried garlic is ground, cut into slices, or, as here, ground as garlic.
