Single-clove garlic. →[More:]
I bought some of this in my local Lidl a couple of weeks ago, exactly like the one pictured in a little basket. It's absolutely fabulous. I love garlic, and usually add at least two or three times the recipe amount. One of these single cloves is probably the equivalent of three large cloves, so perfect for me, and so easy to peel.

Today I marinated chicken breasts in lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary & thyme (chopped to dust), salt, pepper, the grated zest of the lemon, and one of these single-clove garlics.

I used my Cuisipro kitchen rasp to zest the lemon and grate the garlic. It has a hard plastic cover to protect the grating surface when it's being stored, but the cover also clips to the back to collect the gratings. It's one of the most useful kitchen tools I own.

So, the chicken breasts and marinade went into a lock-and-lock, got shaken about a bit and then into the fridge for a couple of hours. A hot-ish oven, covered with foil, except for the last five mintues, and they're done and smell fabulous. The chicken/herb/garlic/lemon juice is in a jug, and will be used either in a salad dressing or maybe in a gravy tomorrow when I'll have a good Sunday lunch.

Okay, it's nomtime.
