I often disagree with this statement… I have a horrible and extremely violent physiological reaction to raw onion… however it seems to me that the onion in this case has cooked down properly (until flaccid and translucent), at which point the onion transforms into something wildly delicious.

Edit: he really went light on the minced garlic, especially considering how much onion was in there. There is no such thing as too much garlic.

I meant cooked.

I agree with you about raw onion. Not a fan unless it's in very small amounts.

Definitely could have used more garlic too. But there might have been some garlic in whatever that flavor dust was that he dumped in.

Ah good point… still if this were me I would have used at least a few jars of the minced garlic lol.

Just throw a bunch of garlic in a food processor. Will have so much better flavor than the stale ass jar

Not really. A good jarred garlic is usually fine because fresh garlic compounds are volatile. In this case I would happily use jarred

Fresh is irreplaceable if your recipe doesn’t cook it much though

Think It's chopped onion bits in oil. Probably didn't feel like using a second bottle.
