My garlic turned blue....

[therese]

when I sauteed it in olive oil. This has happened before and I usually start over but I don't have enough ingredients to do that today. Is it okay to use? I bought the garlic yesterday. TIA!

Seems like it's OK- the first part is really technical - last section is the understandable answer

It should be fine...it's got to be a chemical reaction between the garlic, oil and pan...

What is your sauté pan constructed of? I'm thinking a metal...? How close is it to the color of blue corn tortillas...you could REALLY have something here!!

Glennis, it has turned a lovely shade of teal for me in the past!

Oddly enough, the few times it happened to me I was cooking in the kitchen of a synagogue, weird, eh?!
