Young garlic with pastry casing

In a shallow bowl, mix the egg, flour, milk, and salt thoroughly. It should form a slightly sticky batter. Toss the garlic in this batter and fry it in a pan with plenty of hot oil (a deep fryer also works, of course). The oil shouldn’t be too hot. When the pieces are golden brown, place them on kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil. I like this preparation best when the garlic is fried or deep-fried in olive oil. The garlic goes very well as a side dish with fish or (even briefly pan-fried) meat dishes. It’s also great as finger food, tapas, at buffets, at parties, or just as a snack. For a vegan variation: Make the batter from chickpea flour, water, and a little salt.
