Fresh garlic can be eaten raw, thinly sliced and added to salads, or chopped and mixed into sauces, dips and spreads. Small bulbs are commonly used in cooked applications and can be lightly sautéed in olive oil as a base for vegetables, soups, stews, meats and rice. Whole bulbs can also be roasted for a caramelized flavour. Fresh garlic is included in many traditional dishes such as ful, a popular street food consisting of fava beans with garlic, olive oil, onions and lemon juice. This mixture is used for breakfast and spread on eggs or pita bread.
