The first video is from Nubia, Sicily in Italy. Let’s learn how to braid garlic from Flavia who was very generous to welcome us in her busy working time.
Nubia is a very small village near Trapani in Italy. Garlic from Nubia has pinkish outer skin so it is called red garlic of Nubia in Italy (Aglio Rosso di Nubia). It is also protected by Slow Food movement.
Before braiding, don’t forget wet the garlic stem to make it soft. Otherwise, it won’t be an easy job. Flavia had piles of wet garlic under the blanket in front of her while she was working on it.
After braided, garlic stays under the full sun of Sicily about two days. Then it is ready to store on the wall of the kitchen. The smaller cloves keep better and longer. No need to stay in the fridge otherwise it will get humidity problem. And of course, your fridge will smell the garlic.
Please stay tuned for more stories including how to make garlic preserves in Nubia style.
