GARLIC
Imagine a world without garlic. In fact, don’t – it’s too bleak. Garlic is part of the allium family, which includes onions and leeks, and it’s a versatile ingredient that helps build a number of different meals. It can add nuance, or it can pack a punch. The black olive & garlic sharing bread hails from a waitressing job I had in my teens. I got sacked after two days, but the memory of the restaurant’s garlic bread with black olives made it worth it. The recipe for squash & beetroot with orzo & roasted garlic feta sauce (overleaf) came about by accident when some whipped feta became too loose, but still tasted delicious. The garlic & nduja rice-stuffed chicken is a dish of pure comfort and spice, that’s so delicious it’s hard to stop eating it.
