April is National Garlic Month and the perfect time to celebrate a flavorful staple in so many kitchens (as you can see below!). This close cousin to leeks, shallots, and chives adds pungent spice to everything from roasts, pastas, dips, and sooooo much more.
Here on the Hungry Goddess, we are celebrating Garlic and some of our favorite recipes that have benefited from the addition of hordes, herds, swarms. flocks, bushels of garlic. I grew up in a household where raw cloves of garlic were eaten like M&M’s, so I don’t flinch from adding garlic to my recipes … like the Lechon Asado – Cuban Roasted Pork with 20 cloves of garlic or Spicy Mustard Crab Cakes with Lemon Garlic Aioli. I also recommend the Lemon Garlic Oregano Potatoes as a side dish or the Braised Chicken and Tortellini Salad with Lemon Garlic Dressing.
Please browse the recipes here on The Hungry Goddess for more garlicky deliciousness and absolutely check out the recipes below that have been provided by some favorite food blogger friends!
Want more garlic in your life? Of course you do! Tune into #HGEATS Radio on April 15 at 12n est for a whole show on Garlic! We are joined by very special guest, Chef Bruce Feingold, Executive Chef of Dada Restaurant in Delray Beach, Florida AND three time winner of the Garlic Festival Iron Chef competition.
The Hungry Goddess is a scrumptious place to be for National Garlic Month!
