Adobo with Garlic Fried Rice

Ingredients:

1 kilo meat (2.2 pounds), cut into chunks (your choice of pork or chicken)
1 cup vinegar
1 head garlic, crushed
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1 tsp. peppercorns
1 Tbsp. oil

Wash pork or chicken meat; place in a cooking pan, and mix in other ingredients. Cover the pan and bring mixture to the boil, using medium heat. Once boiling, stir mixture to separate meat pieces. Lower heat, cook until meat is tender, stirring mixture once or twice.

When meat is tender and there is ‘excess’ liquid left, transfer meat to a container and allow excess liquid in the pan to ‘evaporate’ by turning up the heat. Once liquid is almost dried up, put back the meat in the pan and allow to ‘fry’ in its own fat, stirring lightly. Serve hot with garlic-fried rice and tomato slices.

Note: Use the leanest meat you can find.

Garlic-Fried Rice

4 Tbsp. Olive oil
1 head garlic, crushed finely
4 cups cooked rice, refrigerated overnight
Salt to taste

Place rice in a wide container and separate grains using your hands. In a non-stick frying pan, heat oil over medium-hot heat and fry garlic until brown.

Add rice and mix thoroughly until rice is evenly cooked. Season with salt to taste. Serve hot.

Garlicky Steak and Asparagus

Tender beef steaks are great for indoor electric grills as is asparagus since both cook in a short time.

Makes 2 servings.

(strip) steak, cut about 3/4 inch thick
1 or 2 large cloves garlic, coarsely

8 to 10 thin asparagus spears, trimmed (6 oz.)
2 tsp. garlic-flavored olive oil or
olive oil
1/2 cup beef broth
1 Tbs. dry white wine
1/4 tsp. Dijon-style mustard

Rub the steak on both sides with a mixture
of the garlic, pepper, and salt, pressing in the
mixture with your fingers.

Place the asparagus in a shallow dish and drizzle
with the oil.

For sauce, in a medium skillet stir together the
broth and wine. Cook over high heat for 4 to
5 minutes or until mixture is reduced to 1/4 cup.
Whisk in mustard; keep warm.

Preheat an indoor electric grill on high setting,
if available. Place steak on the grill rack. Grill
until steak is desired doneness. Allow 3 to 4
minutes for medium rare or 5 to 7 minutes for
medium. If space allows, add asparagus to grill
for the last 2 to 3 minutes.Cook asparagus until
crisp-tender.*

Spoon sauce on serving plate. Cut steak in half
crosswise. Serve steak halves atop sauce with
asparagus on top.

2 quarts of water
1 cup plain salt
1 teaspoon tumeric
fresh dill-one stick per jar or can use
the dried dill
6 cloves of garlic per quart jar
(can be whole, sliced or crushed)we
love garlic, so you can use less

Slice cucumbers and soak in large tin wash pan in water and lime overnight. Rinse 3 times the next day.

Place, onion, dill and garlic in quart jars. Pack with cucmbers. Heat vinegar, water, salt and tumeric to boiling. Pour over pickles. Screw heated lids on very tight. I usually turn them upside down on a thick towel.

Note: I really don’t know what the tumeric does, but I do know that it is very messy and stains whatever it touches. I
continue to use it each time though.

How To Roast Garlic

Many equate garlic with a very pungent flavor, but roasted garlic has a delicious mellow nutty flavor.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Remove as much of the paper from 2 whole heads of garlic as you can without breaking apart the cloves. Place garlic heads in 1/4 cup water in a small baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cover with aluminum foil or baking dish cover.

Put into oven and baste with olive oil/water mixture after 30 minutes.
Bake until garlic is soft and easily pierced with a thin-bladed knife, about 1 hour total cooking time.

Note:

Quick method: Spread individual unpeeled cloves evenly on cookie sheet, drizzle with oil, and bake about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft.

Squeeze cloves onto freshly baked bread or into a sealed, refrigerated container to be used within 3 days.

Recipe can be easily multiplied for garlic freaks. ( like me )

A Healthier Garlic Bread

Who doesn’t love garlic bread? The trouble is, it’s usually chock-full of artery clogging saturated fat. You can make your own healthier, low fat version by simply roasting a head of garlic and spreading the pulp on a whole grain baguette.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Take two heads of garlic and remove the papery outer layer
Slice approximately half an inch off the top of each head to expose the cluster of cloves

Place garlic, cut side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet or in a baking dish
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of extra virgin oil on top of each head of garlic
Bring up sides of foil and seal the garlic, or, if using a baking dish, cover it.

Roast for 40-45 minutes Allow to cool, then separate cloves and squeeze them to make a pulp. Mash until smooth.

Spread pulp on warmed or toasted baguette
For a creamier texture, you could blend garlic pulp with some softened
fat-free cream cheese.

Trim off 2 inches of fat and membrane between the ribs to expose the tips of the bones, then cut through the backbone between the ribs to make carving easier. Fresh spring vegetables, such as asparagus, baby carrots and new potatoes, make a delicious accompaniment.

2 heads garlic
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

Fettuccini Dell’aglio Con Pollo: Fettucinni with Garlic, Chicken

This is slightly similar in taste to an alfredo sauce, but with a few critical, less-fat differences. True alfredo sauce is made with butter, cream, chicken stock and flour. This sauce is made with olive oil, butter, garlic, and a bunch of other fresh ingredients. If possible, you’ll want some crusty parmesan bread to sop up the sauce!

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons Italian salad dressing
1/4 cup milk or cream or half-and-half (use whatever you’ve got)
1/2 cup chicken stock
3-6 cloves garlic, crushed or chopped
1/2 small onion, diced
fresh basil or dried basil, to taste
1/2 cup diced tomatoes, fresh or canned tomatoes (optional)
1/2 cup pitted olives (we used black, but use whatever you like)
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning or herbes de provence
1/2 cup parmesan cheese or romano cheese
1 teaspoon sugar
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2-3 raw chicken breasts, sliced into bite-size pieces

Yield: 4 servings

Put the water on to boil for the fettuccini – fettuccini takes about 10 minutes to reach al dente, so put it in to cook when you add the cheese to the sauce.

Remember that al dente means “to the bite” – your pasta should still be slightly firm, not soft. If it’s too soggy, it will absorb the sauce rather than being coated by it.

Add the olive oil and the butter to a skillet and allow to melt.
Add the chicken and cook until slightly browned.
Add the onions and garlic and sauté until the garlic is a light golden color.
Add the chicken stock, cream, Italian salad dressing, spices and olives.
Heat over medium until just bubbling.
Last, add the cheese.

Allow to simmer for ten minutes uncovered – sauce will reduce and thicken slightly.

Place the fettuccini on a platter or plates and pour the sauce over the top.
If you’d like, garnish with a couple of leaves of fresh basil.

Spicy Garlic Hummus

I have tried a lot of hummus recipes, and this one is a combination of a few of my favorites, and is now the only one I use. I grow my own little Super Hot Chili Peppers and so that is what I use, but you can substitute any pepper you like, or use hot pepper flakes. I like a lot of garlic and a bit of a kick, but this recipe is easily alterable to your own tastes so adjust it as you see fit. I like my hummus thick so I usually skip the water. Another nice variation is to add a bit of red, green, and yellow bell peppers. It makes the hummus really pretty! Any hummus lover will tell you that the spread can be used so many ways. My favorite uses for this is as a vegetable dip or as a sandwich spread in a whole wheat veggie wrap, or dipped onto a warm piece of pita.

1 (19 ounces) can garbanzo beans, drained
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon water, amount as needed
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 hot chili pepper
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
paprika, to taste

Yield: 6 servings

Process garbanzo beans, tahini, chili pepper, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor or blender until smooth.

Add water as needed to achieve the consistency you prefer.
Place mixture into a glass bowl.

Stir in cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt and black pepper.

Cover and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours. The flavor improves greatly if given this time to develop.
