Garlic is in season always and mainly from early spring through fall. From simple baked potatoes to every recipe that we cook we need garlic, at least alternative days. You might not know it unless you start cooking and find that it is not there, you will be like the whole dish will not taste good as it should be. You will be hard-pressed to find a savory recipe that doesn’t use garlic. I pretty much add garlic to all my recipes. Let it be main dish, side dish or sauce. Do you not believe me ? if so, peel some cloves and start chopping and add it to your favorite recipe 😀 it gives great impressive superpowers. It is loaded with antioxidants that zap cancer-causing free radicals, and vitamin C and B6.
You get even the frozen peeled garlic but I personally prefer the firm plump white bulbs , I mean fresh garlic in the market :D. Also you can garlic paste. I don’t use them always, but for some of my recipes like curries I do use garlic paste. Do you know that there is even National Garlic Day. Below here are some of my favorite garlic based recipes. I add garlic to most of my recipes, but these recipes are just based on garlic so if you don’t have garlic, don’t even think of trying them. 😀
