Anyone have any good recipes using a lot of garlic?

Answer 1

Did you know..... that when garlic enjoy long, slow cooking - 45 minutes or more in the oven - it loses its characteristic bite and offensive odor and gives quite a different flavor to whatever it has been cooked with?

Chicken Baked with Garlic

If garlic has all the cancer-, cholesterol-, and bacteria-fighting properties that its proponents claim, this is just about the healthiest dish you can eat.

6 tbsp olive oil
2 whole chicken (about 31/2 pouns each), each cut into 8 serving pieces, skin removed
1/3 cup flour
40 cloves garlic, unpeeled
3 stalks celery, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1-inch lengths
4 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried
3 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried
1 cup dry vermouth or white wine
1 cup chicken broth
11/2 tsp salt

1. Preheat oven to 350 deg F. In large skillet, over medium heat, heat 2 tbsp of oil. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Add one-third of chicken to pan and saute 4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Transfer to 10 x 14-inch roasting pan. Repeat sauteing in two more batches, using 2 tbsp of oil per batch, cooking until golden brown and transferring to roasting pan.

2. Add garlic, celery, rosemary, and thyme to skillet, and cook 1 minute. Add vermouth, increase heat to high, bring to a boil, and cook 2 minutes to evaporate alcohol. Add borth and salt to skillet, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Pour vegetables and cooking liquid over chicken in roasting pan. Cover pan with foil.

3. Bake until chicken is cooked through and garlic is meltingly tender, 45 minutes.

4. Spoon chicken and garlic onto dinner plates.

Answer 2

40 cloves of garlic roasted chicken


A 3 1/2 to 4-pound chicken
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 large head of garlic, separated into individual cloves
3/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup rich chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 to 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
Fresh herbs, i.e. parsley, rosemary and/or thyme, finely chopped

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Rub the skin with 1 tablespoon of the softened butter. Place the chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up, and transfer to the preheated oven. Roast the chicken for 30 minutes, basting occasionally with the pan juices.
In a saucepan bring 4 to 6 cups of water to a boil. Blanch the garlic cloves for 15 to 30 seconds, drain and transfer to an ice water bath. Peel the garlic and reserve.

After the chicken has roasted for 30 minutes, distribute the garlic cloves around the pan. Reduce the oven heat to 375 degrees F. and continue to roast for another 15 to 25 minutes, until well browned and the juices run clear when the fleshy part of the thigh is pricked with a fork.

Transfer the chicken to a platter along with 1/3 of the garlic cloves. With a large spoon skim the fat from the pan taking care not to remove any of the juices and discard. Place the roasting pan over moderately high heat and deglaze with the white wine, scraping up the brown bits clinging to the bottom and sides. Simmer the wine until reduced by half. Add the chicken stock, bring to a boil and reduce by half. Season with salt and pepper.

Carve the chicken into serving pieces and pour any of the juices into the simmering sauce.

Pour the sauce with the remaining garlic into a blender and puree, in batches if necessary, until smooth. Return the sauce to the roasting pan and bring back to a simmer. Swirl in the cold butter in pieces. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Stir in the fresh herbs. Serve the chicken with the sauce.


I found this recipe a long time ago and I have seen different versions of this on the cooking channel.

Answer 5

You can add garlic to any recipe you make. I do. Garlic is a main stay of any meal at my house. It is good for you.

Here is an easy one I fix frequently. I love to saute fresh chopped garlic with cubed chicken and fresh mushrooms in olive oil (stir frequently to keep from sticking-about 10 minutes to be sure the chicken is cooked through) and then toss with pasta. Serve with fresh grated parmesean cheese and a green salad.

Answer 7

A really simple recipe not for the faint of heart and don't eat unless around others eating it...

When making this recipe please note it is vital you use fresh garlic not jarred... you loose to much flavor with the jarred

Garlic Dip

3-8oz blocks of cream cheese (set out and soften a little, makes it easier to mix)
2 heads of garlic
1 tbsp of Olive oil (this can vary depending on your taste)

-Using garlic press, press garlic
-mix cream cheese, garlic and olive oil together (the oil helps mixing more than anything)

This is one of the most popular dips I make and its simple. We sometimes add more garlic or cheese depending on the crowd's tastes buds. We also make this anytime someone has a cold coming on... it seems to help knock it out real quick.

Use with chips, crackers, breads, veggies. We love this dip I hope you enjoy it!

Have a GREAT day!
