To do steam the garlic, just cook it over low heat and covered. This steaming consists of "suffocating" the ingredient with very little fat or liquid, or even with only its vegetation water.
This technique is generally used for cooking garlic, chopped shallots and onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, zucchini (vegetables that make a lot of water), but also julienne or diced vegetables, meats and braising fish.
Embellished with aromatics or spices, these cooked ingredients are deeply impregnated with their scents for a more flavorful finish. In this recipe, garlic, soaked in butter, salt, sugar and paprika, subtly exhales all of its flavors in the cream to make a perfectly seasoned sauce, perfectly enhancing the bland side of the cucumber.
