Garlic, garlic! Oh how I love garlic! If you don't like garlic you probably

won't like me, LOL! Absolutely crave the taste, and have a great garlic press.

Absolutely everything but sweets gets lots of raw pressed garlic. I don't cook

my garlic, but it goes on last, fresh and pressed. Yummmmmn! Or in my fresh

juice. Garlic and olive oil are 2 of my favorites...and I'm not even Italian.

Use lots of oilve oil, no butter. Break him in a bit at a time. I think a person

needs to build up to using great amounts of garlic.

LMAO ... I'd try it but I know it won't work. Hubby is not a big fan of

garlic, and my " potion " has a whole head in it. His first reaction when he

smells it cooking is " EWWWWW " . But you know, with a little tweaking of

ingredient amounts, it just might might a good salad dressing!

LOL Diana! I also love garlic, although not quite to the extent you do.

Hubby likes it too, but not as much as I do. You should have seen the look

on his face one of the first times he saw me chopping garlic for a recipe.

" You're using THAT much garlic?! " LOL Unfortunately, stepson is completely

finicky when it comes to seasoning food, so I have to tone it down from my

norm. However, I've been slowly increasing the amount of seasonings I use,

and what foods I use it in, so he's getting used to it. He'll even eat

jarred salsa now with only minor complaints about the ingredients. Haven't

tried him with my fresh salsa yet, or my Tex-Mex sauce, which his dad loves.

But I'll get him there eventually.

My kids love my mom's salsa:

 

2 - 3 medium sized jalapenos

3 large vine ripe straight from the garden tomatoes

2 - 3 cloves garlic

1/2 sweet onion

1/4 tsp cumin

salt to taste

 

Boil jalapenos in water until they are cooked (they change color and your whole

house smells of them)

Add tomatoes, boil just until tomato skins crack and peel, don't over cook

 

Meanwhile, chop onion into big chunks and peel garlic

 

Take jalapenos out and remove stems. Take tomatoes out and cut into quarters.

DO NOT THROW OUT WATER YET.

 

Put jalapenos, onions and garlic into the blender. Blend until it's a paste.

Add tomatoes and cumin. Blend until you think it's all mixed up well. Taste

then salt to taste. Because the peppers, tomatoes, etc. can vary in taste

depending on the season and where you get them from I like to add one teaspoon

of salt, blend taste and continue in that manner 'til I'm satisfied.

 

If you think the salsa is too 'dry' add a little of the water you used to cook

the peppers and tomatoes in.

 

Will keep in the fridge for up to a month - it's very acidic. It's great on

just about anything you can think of: bean sandwiches, eggs and sausage bake,

baked potatoes, nachos, etc.

 

For a more grown up taste we grill the peppers and tomatoes.

 

I think my kids like it 'cuz it's not chunky so you don't get a mouthful of

onion here, mouthful of tomato there.

Thanks for your recipe, Dale! Now if we get Carol's we can make a cookbook.

Throw some super tonic in there!
