What did you have for dinner?

Garlic.

I have only ever eaten it as an ingredient in a meal.
I have now got a garlic soup recipe.

Has anyone tried this, and if so, what do you think of it . . . .apart from a smelly breath.

 

I'll eat anything and I mean anything, somethings I don't particularly like but would never be so rude if with friends/family and not eat what they give me. As to what we ate today my gorgeous hubby made me fish chowder with cod, haddock, salmon and prawns.

 

Oops, not quite yesterday
I love this thread, being a lover of food
Tonight, last night, we had home made beef curry. A variant on aloo gosht.

 

Thank you, shiney.
The recipe does suggest roasting the garlic first.
I read that garlic has good medicinal qualities. That is why I want to try the soup.

 

Last night we had take away fish and chips from the local pub. I phoned the order through and collected it about 15 mins later. It was very good. We usually buy our fish and chips in the next village. This was cheaper and as it wasn't so far to travel, the meal was still hot. It's definitely something we Will be doing again.

Tonight I had my famous (well it is is in our house) crock pot beef stew.

I never had much luck with garlic. Recipes always tell you to roast it first with your onions. Mine always burned and then left a nasty taste. Nowadays I tend to use garlic pepper as a seasoning instead.

@shiney haha, the variant was no potato! Hubby doesn't like them in a ' curry ' . It's my .....gosht recipe . The recipe I use fries the potatoes in ghee before adding to the gravy, yum yum but if he doesn't want them I comprise ( and save lots of calories ) it still tastes amazing

 

@Jack Sparrow i agree about recipes telling you to cook garlic with the onion, it usually burns before the onion has cooked
What I do is cook the onion until ' done ' then add garlic / ginger and cook gently, stirring, for a few more minutes

 

Well tonight we had a pork dinner and I won't go into how many greens

 

@Loki I've recently started adding ginger to all my chicken dishes. It adds a nice richness.
