20 cloves of garlic? Holy Garlic Breath, Batman!

I gotta say though, that made my mouth water!

Super easy recipe. I would only be hesitant because it would seem that the garlic would be over-powering!

20 cloves...WOW! That's a LOT of garlic!

When you slow cook garlic, the result is sooooo different from the normal, eye-tearing result........ this takes the garlic to a whole new, sweet (almost) level !

You Must try it............BTW there is a 40- clove version !

Thank you for the recipe Lucky.

It looks fantastic! Defrosting some chicken thighs right now. I'm going to try this out tonight. Have a feeling I better make a little extra. Once everyone gets a whiff of it cooking. I'll need to be quick if I'm going to eat tonight.

What did you serve with your dish?

Thank you

Munky.

Looks good, nice warm comfort food.. It's freezing here this morning..

It must be similar to roasting garlic. That also takes a lot of the heat out and tones down the flavor.

Thanks! This one will be tried at my house!

Thanks LT. I've got a new crock pot, lots of fresh garlic and lots of chicken thighs.

I love to boil crushed garlic in with potatoes I'm going to mash.

Excuse me, I need to run to the store. BRB!

 

[Kayelle]

Looks wonderful LT!! However I do it in the oven with 40 cloves and a cup of wine.
You're so right about the garlic, it turns nutty, not harsh and it's wonderful to dip bread in the sauce and spread a clove of garlic on the top. Real comfort food!

 

[Dawgluver]

Oooh. Yum!

 

[Chef Munky]

Well mine's in the crock pot now. Have some sourdough bread ready to be toasted.
I'll use Kayell's idea for a spread. Hope I can get the onions to caramelize just a little bit.

I'm not sorry I quickly gave hubby the Bum's rush out the door. Your going to be late Dear! He thought it smelled good to..
Sorry, but smelling this dish cooking. I'm not sharing it with anybody.

I started a crockpot around 1 p.m., with 3 frozen thighs, leftover frozen sweet peas and kernel corn, plus a little baggie with the last of the basil I grew, and great chunks of garlic.

I have the crockpot plugged in by my feet. It's nice and cozy.

 

[Alix]

Huh, I never thought of doing this in the crockpot! Good call LT, I'll be doing this one ASAP too. Thanks!

[Chef Munky]

Done!

LT,

You outdid yourself on this one. It turned out perfectly. This recipe is a definite keeper.

Took some of the garlic cloves and made a paste with them, added it to some butter.

Spread it onto some sourdough bread, topped with mozzarella cheese, and some of the onions that had simmered in the pot. Toasted it for a few minutes on my paninni maker. Oh it was good.

Made a nice gravy with the juices. Had a side of mashed potatoes and salad to go with it.

Thank you for the great recipe.

Munky.

Browning the chicken beforehand might dry it out. Lt's timing, I went 4 hrs, was perfect. Not at all dry.

When it's done and removed from the crock, the juices left after skimming off the fat, has a nice rich tan color. Not too dark or light. I did place some of the garlic cloves and onions around the sides, so that the heating element would brown them.
Some had caramelized.

Must say before I forget. The left over chicken ( what their was of it ) shredded. Made a great pannini. Just used a simple olive oil, herbed base, with the garlic and onion paste added to it.
Maybe save your garlic chives for that?

Munky.
