    umm... the ones with garlic in them.

    Seriously... I'd be hard pressed to pick... my list is long.

      not really a dish, although i can make a meal out of it, whenever the holidays roll around my dad always makes a garlic dip, and he makes it extra potent

        when we boil crawfish down here, we boil the garlic in the heavily seasoned water, and eat the garlic just like that, or make garlic mashed taters with them

          My favorite is to chop, oh, about 2/3rd of a head of garlic, and about a fourth of an onion, and sautee them with some olive oil, and then at the last minute add some finely slivered red chard (about a half a pound) and let the garlic olive oil and onions coat and warm the chard.

          Then I toast some bread and smear it with brie (or any other soft cheese, I just happen to be partial to brie) and then top it off with a couple of spoonfuls of the chard mixture. It just melts the cheese, and soaks into the bread-and it's super super super yummy!

    Garlic Torta

    5 heads garlic
    7 oz. salt pork
    3 eggs
    12 saffron threads
    5 oz. cream cheese
    6 oz. farmers cheese
    1 t. cinnamon
    1 t. pepper
    1/4 t. cloves
    1/4 t. nutmeg
    1/4 t. ginger
    1/2 C. raisins
    crust for a 2-crust pie

    Separate the garlic cloves and peel. Bring a pot of
    water to boil. Add garlic and simmer for 15 minutes.
    Drain and place garlic in a bowl of cold water.

    Grind the salt pork or chop very fine.

    Beat the eggs lightly and add the saffron threads.
    Add the cream cheese and beat until fairly smooth.

    Grate or finely dice the farmers cheese. Add to
    the egg mixture along with the salt pork, raisins
    and spices.

    Mash the garlic cloves with mortar and pestle or
    in a food processor. Add to the egg mixture and
    blend thoroughly.

    Line a 9" pie pan with crust. Pour in the filling,
    and top with the second crust - sealing tightly.

    Heat oven to 400 degrees and bake for 45 minutes.

    A good pesto is hard to beat. Fresh basil from the garden, pine nuts, parmesean, olive oil, and don't be shy with the garlic. It's like foreplay on a plate.

      Got a big tub o' homemade pesto in the fridge right now ... mmm.

      BTW there are all sort of crazy variants to pesto, some of which aren't bad. Two you will see in Italy are using walnuts or almonds instead of pine nuts and using other fresh herbs such as parsley for all or part of the basil.

    For a quick cure for the Munchies, I heat some Virgin Olive Oil, and chopped Garlic in a fry pan and then when the mix is right I add either Locatelli Romano or Asaigo cheese. Then dip my favorite Sourdough roll and sit back and enjoy.

    BTW when making Hamburgers I use Chopped Garlic and Locatelli when forming the patty. The rest of the ingredients is my secret...
