    Who LOVES garlic??  DH and I wanted to go up to Gilroy for their annual garlic festival last year but couldnt make it so DH and I had our own garlic festival at our place where we made several garlic food items including garlic soup, chicken picatta, shrimp with a garlic white wine sauce, garlic cheese fondue, etc.  We also had snacks like garlic cheese bread, garlic pistachio, garlic stuffed olives.  It was such a hit that we decided to have it every year :) 

    We will be having our 2nd annual one this summer and I need bee's ideas!  Does anyone have a favorite garlic dish that they'd care to share so we can make some new items?

    Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes! We are a garlic loving family too! I based mine of the recipe from the Food Network Show- Down Home with the Neely's and it is sooo good!

    That sounds like a tradition I'm gonna have to adopt.  I'm not even kidding.  We adore garlic lol.  There's a great cheesy/garlic-y dip that goes with crackers that I'd love to suggest to you- but the recipe is at my house and I'm not there to get it.  Ugh, I'm no help!

    just whole clove roasted garlic is awesome!!!!!!!!

    We make an anchovy-garlic pasta, its basically just a tin of anchovies, a LOT of garlic, handful of parsley, spaghetti, lemon and olive oil. In the time it takes to cook the pasta, heat the oil, add in the garlic (don't let it brown), add in the anchovies (they will kind of melt a part), toss in the parsley and the cooked pasta and squeeze liberally with lemon. So good (and not overwhelmingly "anchovy" tasting either, surprisingly)

    I LOOOOOVE garlic.  I live right behind a Mellow Mushrom pizza place and always end up getting a plain cheese with tons of chunky garlic on top.  MMMMM.

    I agree with ejs4y8 just roast a few heads and serve with a toasted french bread slices or to spice it up, serve with a sundried tomato bread!

    @ejs - my mom makes pickled garlic (with homegrown garlic!) and I hear it's pretty tasty. I'm a garlic fan, but I'm a bit afraid of pickled garlic.

    My favourite garlicky treats are hummous (chick peas, olive oil, lemon, garlic, tahine, salt), super garicky caesar salad and steak sandwiches with garlic-horseradish spread. I make the spread with mayo, lemon, fresh crushed garlic and horseradish. Mmmmm I'm gonna have to go garlic up some food now! Have fun with your garlic festival! :)

    We love garlic!  I agree that little red potatoes quartered and then TONS of fresh garlic are the best.  We make them where the potatoes almost mash themself so its kinda like half mashed, half quartered potatoes all with the skins still on them. 

    We also do thinly sliced potatoes and saute them in some olive oil with onions and garlic (tons of garlic).  The extra onions and garlic make a great topping for a steak.

    @jduck, it had a bite like garlic does but the pickled flavor just ruined it for me. It was SUPER crunchy too. It's just not a flavor combo i go for. Very pickles+garlic. I just didn't like it. Followed the directions to a T, made a small batch, let it chill in the fridge, nope.

    Roasted Garlic Hummus=amazing. I love hummus and i always end up adding too much garlic (I KNOW! Yes...it is possible). Roasting the garlic first makes it a bit more bareable. But then I have roasted garlic laying around and I eat it...all. 

    Garlicky Shrimp! America's Test Kitchen has an amazing recipe for it.  You'll have to check it out. They also have Garlic Shrimp with buttered bread crumbs and garlicky shrimp pasta.

    I love garlic.  In most things!  One of our favorite garlicky recipes is this Chicken 40 Cloves from Alton Brown.  My husband makes it with a side of crusty bread, so you can spread the roasted garlic on the bread.  YUM!  Also, my favorite Lebanese restaurant has this amazing garlic dip that you can spread on pita bread.  I found a recipe that is reportedly similar to the original here.

    I love garlic. If I had to pick, I'd say my favorite foods in that category are a toss up between garlic bread and garlic chicken from the local Thai place. And it makes for some weird dreams at night though. LOL

    I went to a restaurant in Estonia (Baltic state in Europe) and the entire menu was garlic- and I mean everything! Including garlic ice cream which was actually better than I thought it would be.

    You might not believe me but...if you really love garlic you have to try this!

    Husband makes the most delicious homemade ice cream and one of the most unique flavors he does is...

    Garlic Ice Cream with Caramel Molé Sauce

    We first tried it at the Stinking Rose Restaurant in Beverly Hills (their motto is "We season our garlic with food") and then he recreated it at home. The sauce it what really makes it. 

    I dare you to try it. Wink

    I LOVE garlic!  I found a recipe posted on another forum some time ago for lamb and garlic in the crock pot- lamb shanks or stew meat, rosemary, baby carrots, and an entire head of garlic. Cover everything with red wine and let it cook in the crock pot for like 8 hours. Serve over mashed potatoes. SO good, but so garlicy that you smell like it forever!
