Roasted Garlic --- to be used both in and on top of other delicious recipes!
Who doesn't love to have garlic bread when they go to an Italian restaurant! Meatballs would not be what they are without the hints of fresh garlic. Pizza would be less popular than you think. First dates would never be ruined by stinky first kisses! Garlic goes great with mostly everything, so here is how to make it in one of our favorite fashions...
Makes 4 Cloves (you might want to make more than 4 cloves :) )
Preheat oven to 400º. Coat the outside of a whole or partial head of garlic with olive oil and place in an oven proof skillet or garlic roaster. Place in oven on lower rack and roast until the skin is brown and the garlic is tender---about 40-60 mins. Set aside to cool. Once cooled, use in recipes such as our Vegetarian Black Bean Chili, spread atop fresh french bread, or bake into deliciously stinky muffins!
Creamy Horseradish
¼ Cup Fresh Horseradish
1 Cup Sour Cream
1 T Dijon Mustard
1 t White Wine Vinegar
¼ t Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
For the Creamy Horseradish Sauce: Place all of the ingredients into a medium mixing bowl or Nutribullet and whisk/blend until mixture is smooth and creamy. Place in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to open and meld. Sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
HOMEMADE Tortilla Chips --- For any day of the week!
Easy, delicious and 100000% better than any store bought chip! We promise, once you give our homemade tortilla chip recipe a try, you won’t go back to bagged chips --- unless it’s a carb emergency!
Makes A LOT! (Totally depends on how many tortillas you decide to make)
Ingredients
1 Package of Soft Corn Tortillas
The Original, Fowl or Ole Ole Sleepers Gourmet Seasoning blends
1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (in a bowl)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400º.
Grab cookie sheets, a brush, pizza cutter or knife & authentic corn tortillas.
Spread tortillas onto cookie sheet so that they do not overlap. Dip your brush into the bowl of EVOO & brush the complete surface of each tortilla, lightly coating to the edges. Using your pizza cutter or knife, cut each tortilla into 4 segments. Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 8-12 minutes until desired brown & crispiness!
Once your chips are done cooking but still burning hot, sprinkle them with your desired SG seasoning! If you need more than however many chips you got, repeat all necessary steps until you have enough!
Serve in a bowl side by side with your favorite chili, salsa, hummus, guacamole or dip!
ENJOY!!
