There are certain staples that I must have stocked in my kitchen at all times. If you haven't tried these garlic cubes by Dorot, you MUST run to your nearest Trader Joe's and pick some up. They are so handy!! Fresh garlic in seconds without any mincing or garlicky fingers. A brilliant invention and so useful in a pinch. I <3 these! I love Goya products.
