In order to effectively flavour 250 mL of oil with garlic, approximately how many grams of garlic should be used?
  1. 5 g
  2. 20 g
  3. 50 g
  4. 80 g
Explanation
Answer: B - When making garlic infused oil, it is important to consider a variety of factors including flavour, processing time and risk of botulism development. In order to flavour the oil properly without unnecessarily prolonging the cooking time or increasing the risk of toxin development, roughly 20 g of garlic (about 5 cloves) should be added to every 250mL oil.
