I have a similar recipe for Chinese chicken & garlic. Skin on chicken thighs, chick stock, soy, and shed loads of garlic stewed. Proper nice.

The recipe calls for 1 large Le-Crueset, can that be substituted, I always find it a bit too crunchy?

A nice simple recipe I use (did last night in fact) is garlic stuffed tomatoes, whole cloves wedged in, wrap in foil, bung in oven - yumtus.

Can't have too much garlic I rec.

Eat the above 12 bulbs and spend the next day being avoided by the rest of the world

Aldi do their own version of Le Crueset ... but I'm not sure if it is any less crunchy.... recipe sounds great.

Sounds very similar to a recipe called "Pui cu Usteroi" (Chicken with garlic) which was taught to me by a Romanian who I briefly dated. Gorgeous thighs, shame about the lack of brain!

There were certainly no Brains involved in my cooking ....

Dan Bo has an excellent recipe for garlic soup. It's not very complicated but I've forgotten the finer details, it'd be good if he were to stick it up on here.

May lead to being compared with a polecat if leftovers are eaten at work, apparently.

Neither, I'm afraid, but the girl was a genius! The things she could do with a rubber chicken ...

The late Keith Floyd had a recipe for Garlic Roast Chicken.
1/2 kilo of peeled cloves stuffed inside chicken
1/2 kilo of unpeeled cloves in roasting tin around the chicken.

OH and I like garlic a lot so we tried it once.....
followed by 3 days during which ALL (and I really do mean ALL) bodily secretions smelt of garlic.

Put us off oral sex for years....

Aha! Garlic soup:

8 heads garlic, peeled.
Pint of good chicken stock
Half pint double cream
Salt, pepper
Good tablespoon of good quality green pesto.

Boil garlic in stock for 20 mins. Blitz.
Add everything else. Scoff.
Feel a bit buzzy afterwards.
