Vampires Beware!
Americans consume more than 250 million pounds of garlic a year. Choices abound with endless recipes to choose from. Saute chopped garlic in some extra virgin olive oil to start a homemade pasta sauce or scatter fine slices atop pizza for a pungent topping that packs some punch. For a twist on sweet and savory, try a recipe for garlic hazelnut caramel corn.
More adventurous folks can whip up a batch of garlic flavored ice cream. Need an added incentive? Garlic has been proven to prevent heart disease while it reduces blood pressure and cholesterol. So don't be shy, load it on!
Just make sure you have plenty of breath mints.
Love the article about garlic; it indeed has clout in my home. There isn't one dish that I make that doesn't include garlic (with the exception of pastries).
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to read an article about something that seems to be overlooked or unpopular by many people.
The idea that it is good for you is also a plus!
Garlic flavored ice cream? Garlic hazelnut caramel corn? I don't think so. I hate the smell that stays on my hands when I use it - which isn't often.
