12 Glorious Garlic Recipes for National Garlic Day

April 19th is National Garlic Day. Another day another national food celebration. But this is garlic! The stinking rose. Definitely celebration worthy in my book. I use plenty of garlic in my day to day cooking and could have compiled a much longer list for you of great garlic recipes. Instead a culled it down to a dozen of my favorites:

Appetizers and Sides

Chili Cheese - spicy cheese and nut log perfect for your next party

Greek Eggplant Salsa - an alternative to tomato based salsa

Garlic Cheese Toast - Claim Jumper copycat recipe

Pesto Fries - I know, you are slapping your head thinking, why didn't I think of that?! Here's our basic pesto recipe that you can put on so many things (but, try the fries just once - yum!)

Pickled Cherry Tomatoes - easy recipe for pickling tomatoes with garlic and rosemary

Soup

Sopa de Pollo Borracho - Soup with loads of garlic and other goodness

Main Course

Pasta alla Vodka with fresh tomatoes - Use fresh tomatoes instead of the usual canned to make this classic dish (with or without the vodka)

Tola's Basic Asian Marinade - great Asian marinade for chicken, pork, beef or fish.

Gid and Clark's Righteous Rib Rub - if you want a dry rub instead of a marinade this is great on (or in) so many things

Tuscan Garlic and Rosemary Pork Loin - brined pork loin with loads of garlic and rosemary

Chicken Fricassee - chicken stewed in tomatoes garlic and mushrooms.

Grilled Leg of Lamb - the lamb recipe for people that don't really like lamb (and those that do too).

No dessert recipes? I have actually tried Garlic Ice Cream... once... it is not something I will recreate, thank you very much. 🙂
