Dont fry onions and garlic at the same time. Sweat the onions first and then add the garlic in the last 30 seconds before adding the other ingredients like broth or tomatoes. This will prevent your garlic from becoming bitter by overcooking.

Garlic becomes bitter? I had no idea and I eat the stuff by the bulb.

(To be fair, I don’t think oversteeped tea is bitter, either. And I think gin and tonic tastes sweet. So my sense of bitter might be a bit off.)

Do you drink coffee? That can kinda fuck with your bitterometer.
Rarely but when I do I drink it black.
It’s a genetic thing, kind of like how cilantro tastes like soap for some people.
I feel so bad for those people.
sounds like the opposite of a supertaster, i’m pretty sure i’m a supertaster and to me tea has no flavour and if there’s a single bitter molecule in a dish it’s utterly inedible and i need to rinse my mouth.
The only time garlic becomes “bitter” in my case is if I fry it to charcoal and it’s just little carbon crunchies. But those are more tasteless than bitter. I’ve never encountered bitter garlic now that I think about it.
