Check on chef2chef.com. DH is Italian so he usues fresh garlic when he can. Here are a few of the things he puts a lot of garlic in:
Shrimp Scampi
1/2 C. unsalted butter do not use margarine
3 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 lb. shrimp, peeled and de-veined
Bake at 350 degree oven for about 6 to 7 minutes. Don't overcook shrimp. The shrimp are done when they turn pink.
Butter noodles
Cook noodles till they are done as you like, add in 1/2 stick of butter, salt to taste, and as much minced garlic as you can stand.
Garlic chicken
Prepare a chicken to roast, but then cut slits in the breast and insert wedges of garlic.
Garlic roast beef
Prepare roast then put in your veggies and a whole clove of garlic before roasting (beware, strong)
I'm obsessed with garlic, I love it! I'm always trying to find new recipes using fresh garlic (fresh garlic is the BEST!).
Do those needle things (dunno the proper name for them) work? I've always wanted to flavor meat with crushed garlic cloves.
We have a restaurant near where I live called The Garlic Rose. EVERYTHING on the menu is made with fresh garlic, except the dessert menu (but they DO have garlic ice cream!). I could eat there every day.

The spice injectors look neat, but I've never tried one. They were giving them away with the roasting machines, but I never did order one. DH said he didn't know if they would work. Are they available in stores now? I've only seen them as free gifts on infomercials.
Garlic burgers:
Take a raw patty and lay it down on a plate. Crush some garlic and add in seasonings and diced onions. Spread over patty. Add another patty on top and mush edges together. Fry as normal, but use a thermometer to check for doneness in middle, since burgers will be thicker
Garlic pizza:
Make dough as usual. Before letting dough rise sprinkle with garlic powder and olive oil. After dough rises add in a bit more garlic powder and kneed in. Let rise again then pat dough into pizza pan. Cover with pizza sauce, cheese, other toppings and diced garlic.
Do you grill garlic? There is a cooking show on around our area where they show how to grill garlic in a frying pan (dry roasted on a griddle I think). That way it's more mushy and can be added to more recipes. Lots of Italian soups have garlic in them (at least at DH's mom's house ).
Do you use garlic butter? You dry roast the garlic till it's mushy then add it into fresh butter. You can put that on pasta, bread or add into soups I think.
1/2 pound garlic, peeled
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
2 cups distilled white vinegar
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
Place garlic cloves in a medium bowl, first cutting the large cloves in half. Mix in the red bell pepper.
In a large saucepan over medium high heat, place the distilled white vinegar and white sugar. Wrap ground dry mustard and celery seed in a spice bag, and place in the liquid mixture. Bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and pepper. Continue boiling 5 minutes. Remove from heat and discard spice bag.
Place garlic and peppers in sterile containers to within 1 inch of the top. Fill with remaining liquid to within 1/4 inch from the top. Seal and store in the refrigerator approximately three weeks before serving.
Pickled Garlic #2
4 Heads garlic, cloves separated, unpeeled
2 cups red wine vinegar
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
6 whole cloves (not garlic-the spice!)
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
Place all the ingredients in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Bring to a boil over high heat and cook tor 10 minutes, stirring from time to time.
Reduce the heat to moderate and cook 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.
Transfer to a clean glass or ceramic jar large enough to accomodate the garlic and liquid.
Tightly seal and refrigerate for at least 1 month before serving.
The garlic improves with age for as long as 15 Years.

^^^LOL. My breath would repulse Dracula, that's for sure. I made some dip with garlic in it yesterday and my husband still won't kiss me. Garlic odor has a way of camping out in my breath whenever I eat any.
Still, try it. It's a great recipe and the garlic isn't so strong because it's cooked.

I make a dip with mayo, sour cream, and minced garlic dash of pepper, and dash of seasoning salt. Good to dip chips, veggies, zuchini sticks, chicken strips in.

Just take a bulb of garlic and pop out the cloves, peel them and put them in an oven-safe dish. Then pour a little olive oil over them and roast them at 400 for about 30 minutes or so. Drain the cloves and mash them into some red-skinned potatoes. I always leave the skins on. It's really good with a roasted chicken.
If you love Garlic like I do (I'm sicilian) then you might want to try this as a snack. I get the fat free vegetable cooking spray, coat a little pan and throw in as many cloves of garlic as I like with a pinch of salt. Cook them to where they are soft and brown. It is heavenly! Just watch out for the smell!

Ooooh, make a pepperoncini beef roast.
- one roast, 'bout 3 lbs
- jar of pepperonicini peppers
- GARLIC CLOVES (fresh and peeled, or to make it faster, a jar of whole pickled cloves rocks)
- pack of dry italian dressing mix
Put the roast in a crockpot, rub the dry italian dressing all over it. Poke lotsa holes in the roast with a knife and stick a garlic clove down each hole. Pour the jar of peppers, including the juice, into the pot. Cook on low for about 10 hours. It will fall apart in shreds with a fork when it's done; pile it on rolls and melt provolone cheese on top
Those recipes sound fabulous and I will definitely try it out. Thank you!
