Garlic. We’re guessing there aren’t many undecided voters when it comes to cooking with this pungent ingredient. If you’re a fan, you’ll enjoy this handy website filled with interesting garlic information, history, and how-to’s.
Although the article states that most garlic consumed in the U.S. is grown in northern California, there’s no reason why most of us can’t grow our own. Garlic is a most forgiving garden crop, and now is the time to plant it. For instructions on planting your own, click here.
If you’re using garlic in a slow-cooker recipe and you want a very distinct, garlicky flavor, add it near the end of the cooking time. You can sauté the garlic briefly on the stovetop if you want to make sure it’s tender and fully cooked.
Do you grow your own garlic? Love to cook with garlic? Have a favorite garlicky recipe? We’d love to hear from you!
I grew garlic for the first time this year and it did very well. I planted a whole head last fall and harvested about 15 heads this summer
I found it much stronger than the store bought kind but very tasty.
I love garlic and it mine and my family favorite! We all put garlic in our food everyday ! I love it and it makes the food taste so good! Yum!
I use garlic everyday.My dishes wouldn’t taste the same without GARLIC.
My Mom planted some garlic years ago and it never did get big heads on it. Is there such thing as maybe onion garlic? This looks like onions. I have dug it up and replanted it and still small heads.
