AM FOODIE, WILL WINE

It's actually not a very acidic dish. The garlic is cooked whole with the chicken, so it gets baked in olive oil and pan juices for over an hour. When it's done, it's all soft and sweet and perfect for smearing all over crusty bread. Like roasted garlic, only it's all peeled first.

BTW, this is how I peeled all that garlic. It totally works! 3 heads of garlic all peeled and ready to go in the pan in under a minute.

Well I'll be damned, that a new one on me. Next time I ned to cook that much garlic (for others, serious garlic and onions allergy) I'll remember that trick.

Oh man, I'm so glad that's not included in my long list of allergies. I buy garlic and onions in bulk. We go through them like whoa.

When Ami gets to cooking her Italian food I sometimes have to leave the house, onto the porch, and get my eyes rinsed out LOL, she will use a whole head of garlic and an entire onion for one dish. Yea its like a garlic infused home we have.

Before I learned the bowl trick, it was not uncommon for my hands to still smell of garlic the next morning. If I was making enough Italian to use a whole head of garlic, that would also mean 3-4 onions, at least.

Lemon juice for the hands, works for onions too, but not for chilies

Lemon juice helps, but doesn't get rid of the smell completely if I've handled more than a couple of cloves. I keep a box of latex gloves in the kitchen for handling any kind of hot peppers.

Awesome! Can't believe I have been peeling them one @ a time all of these years!

Thanks!

This is probably a no brainer... but years ago a friend introduced me to port wine... a good port paired with a high quality dark chocolate is a oral experience like no other... important to get the chocolate melting into the port in your mouth.
