Here`s a little play on that. Next time you bake a potato, slice two lines through not quite to the bottom. Open these two parts and stuff them with slivers of garlic, onion, and a pat of butter. Roll them up in tin foil, don`t worry if the stuff pushes out, push it in the best you can. Then bake as you would a potato. Grill is awesome too!!!

Veggie Delight on Garlic Toast


Veggie Delight


You'll Need:
1/8 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic chopped
1 medium eggplant cubed
1 zucchini cubed
1 medium tomato - peeled, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano
2 teaspoons minced fresh basil (optional)

1 Place olive oil and garlic in a large skillet. Fry (stirring occasionally) over a medium heat until the garlic is golden brown; approximately 2 minutes.

2 Add eggplant and zucchini to the skillet, fry until the eggplant is brown and tender; approximately 5 to 7 minutes.

3 Add the tomato chunks to the skillet, stir the mixture until the tomato becomes a pulp. Mix in salt, oregano, and basil. Stir the entire mixture over the heat for 2 minutes, then remove pan from heat and let the mixture cool.


Garlic Toast


1 cup butter softened
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground paprika

1 French baguette



4Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).


5 In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic and parmesan cheese. Season with garlic salt, Italian seasoning, pepper and paprika. Mix until smooth.

6 Slice the bread into 12 (1-inch thick) slices. Distribute garlic butter evenly over the top of each slice. Place the slices directly onto the oven rack (do not use a cookie sheet, the bread will get crisper this way). Let the bread heat for 3 to 5 minutes.

7 Remove the bread from the oven and arrange them on a serving platter. Spread the vegetable mixture over the 12 bread slices, distribute the topping as evenly as you can. Serve immediately.

Are there any recipes without garlic?

Thanks Crazy Liz - anyone got simple garlic recipes that you can eat for dessert?! - lurvve garlic!

No dessert recipes, but did you notice the omelette and frittata ideas I added to the egg & potato thread? I throw some minced garlic into the butter or olive oil before adding other ingredients just about every time I saute or stir-fry something. If you bake potatoes in the microwave until they are almost done before frying them (either for hashbrowns or to put in an egg dish) they absorb a lot of buttery garlicky flavor.
