1. Chicken With 40 Cloves of Garlic
Yes, that is correct — this chicken dish has 40 cloves of garlic. It’s a classic Provençal dish where chicken, potatoes and garlic are oven-roasted together, but the name comes from Julia Child’s essay for the Boston Globe titled “40 Cloves of Garlic May Not Be Enough.” You can buy pre-peeled garlic or put the unpeeled cloves in a jar, put a lid on it and shake.
2. Bruschetta
Tomatoes become garlic-infused when they are marinated in
hot oil and raw garlic. Brush bread with the oil before toasting, in addition to rubbing the garlic cloves on the toast and
then top with the tomato salad mixture.
3. Garlic Chili Oil Noodles
This noodle recipe is pretty simple but packed with flavor.
When you pour hot oil over aromatics like garlic, chili flakes and green
onion, the flavors are intensified and become extra bold.
4. Toum
This Lebanese spread is similar to an aioli. Garlic is blended
with salt, lemon juice and water, and then oil is slowly drizzled in until it
emulsifies into a thick, airy paste. You can spread it on meat, dip fries in it or scoop it with pita bread.
5. Garlic Salad Dressing
This dressing is kind of like a ranch, without the herbs.
Instead, garlic is the main flavor, mixed with sour cream, buttermilk and
mayo, with a little bit of cheese.
6. Roasted Garlic Soup
Roast five heads of garlic for this comforting cream and potato
soup. Top with your favorite crumbles, like crispy pancetta, shredded
cheddar and herbs.
7. Garlic Confit
This recipe went viral a minute ago, but it’s actually a classic condiment.
Start out by roasting peeled garlic cloves in oil and then you can spread the
creamy cloves on bread, mix it into pasta or top roasted meats. Use the oil for cooking or dipping as well.
8. Black Pepper and Garlic Martini
Chase all that garlic goodness down with a crisp martini, shaken
with some sliced garlic and black pepper. Olives, who?
9. Baked Garlic Dip
Garlic and warm cheese go together so well, like in this
cheesy baked dip. It tastes extra good spread on toasted bread.
10. Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
Simple but classic Italian, this pasta dish is simply oil,
sliced garlic, chili flakes and parmesan cheese tossed together until creamy.
It’s super fast to whip together — like Italian ramen noodles.
11. Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Potatoes and garlic are another winning combo. Instead of
just mashing potatoes, boil, smash and then roast potatoes until crispy,
topping with salt, pepper and garlic.
12. Garlic Miso Ramen
The rich miso broth of this dressed-up instant ramen has
garlic grated right in. This deepens the flavor and adds umami.
