What do you say to someone who optimistically decides to develop a recipe with 80 cloves of garlic? I mean, is there ever enough garlic?
Well, surprisingly, the answer turns out to be yes. As we were dreaming up this year's Thanksgiving menu— one rich with spices and aromas — Lynne decided to do the turkey in a French-inspired take on the classic chicken with 40 cloves of garlic. Since turkey is kind of a giant chicken, it makes sense, right?
Wrong. There really can be too much garlic, as vampires were seen fleeing from St. Paul last week.
Try the now-perfect Slow Roast Turkey with 40 Cloves of Garlic and White Wine Pan Gravy and our other delicious holiday dishes, including a vegan Golden Biriyani of Roasted Vegetables and Cashews.
