Garlic

Garlic, leeks, and chives are all you need to make this savory infused oil, great on its own or as a base for just about any sauce.

The fun and flavor of Cuban-style slow-cooked pork in zippy mojo sauce transformed into quick, weeknight-able meatballs. 

Not just a clever name, this savory tart combines three alliums (scallions, garlic, and onion) for maximum flavor and crispy-jammy texture. The key to the flaky crust is to move fast! Rolling and folding the dough while the butter is still cold creates distinct layers of butter and flour that will steam apart during baking, making the crust light and flaky.

Something truly magical happens when fennel, garlic, and anchovies get caramelized together.

Okay, we waited until now to mention that this creamy, earthy, silky rich soup is vegan. Puréeing some of the mushrooms along with cashews adds body that doesn’t compromise on flavor.

It’s a showstopper. Two bottles of red wine get cooked down to a glossy butter sauce that stains and flavors the spaghetti.

Lacquered with a tangy, garlicky hoisin glaze, these ribs are impressive without being burdensome: There's no grilling or marinating—just two hours in the oven followed by a quick broil.

Seasoned with Old Bay, a little garlic, and some charred lemons, these shell-on shrimp capture the nostalgic vibes of a classic East Coast fish shack—without any of the lines.

Buttery, garlicky, irresistible shrimp scampi—but make it pasta.

Blanching tames the bitter bite of broccoli rabe without robbing it of its addictive spiciness: A quick dip in salted water makes it more palatable and tender, so that it cooks quickly in the skillet.

This comforting, fried garlic-topped chicken soup tastes like it took hours to make but comes together in a flash.

Green beans are shriveled and browned into delicious submission before receiving a flavor bomb of garlic, red pepper flakes, and chopped capers.

This is a great excuse to treat yourself to some seriously delicious vinegar.

This satisfying veg-forward dish proves that sometimes the role for meat is as a supporting actor helping to make green things shine.

With salty, sweet, and creamy components, this recipe is more than just a salad: It's a fully realized side dish.

An herb-laced riff on aglio e olio, quick and easy.

This all-purpose chile crisp—which is tangy, spicy, and crunchy—will give your other condiments an inferiority complex.

This back-pocket broth is hardly even a recipe, but it's the most soothing soup we can imagine for sick days, cold nights, and any other time you need a little extra comfort. 

We took a page from chef and author David Tanis and added a bunch of seedy, pickley things to our sushi rice.

These crunchy garlic chips belong on every steak you make.
