Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Hummus with Garlic Pita Flatbread & Garlic Steak Bites






Three of these will be used in the hummus, with one reserved for the garlic pita.



Orange cauliflower, slightly sweeter and creamier than white, according to a reference I cannot recall.

Also, a red bell pepper, getting ready for roasting.





Skin the red pepper before adding to the food processor.



The roasted cauliflower, skinned roasted red pepper, three heads of roasted garlic, before adding tahini, salt, olive oil, lemon juice.




Garlic Keto Pita Bread*












*ETA: I wasn’t happy with the results and remade the pitas, using a slightly different recipe, Low Carb Keto Flatbread/Pita

I subbed coconut flour for the whey protein and added one head of roasted garlic, as well as a teaspoon or two of garlic powder. Also, my eggs were extra large, so I used two whites instead of three.



Here is the second batch. I am apparently incapable of rolling dough into a circle.




Next, some garlic steak bites seasoned with kosher salt, garlic powder, za’atar, cumin, paprika for filling the pita or dipping into the hummus. These were quick, easy, tasty. Cooked in avocado oil, finished with a knob of butter.







Surprisingly, tastes like hummus! I love the taste of roasted cauliflower and was surprised that it didn’t taste very cauliflowery. I bought some garlic hummus to compare tastes and differences. The commercial product was many times more garlicky than mine, but mild is fine by me. I feel like there is something in it that needs to be mellowed, but I’m not sure what it is or how to mellow it.





When I remade the pitas, the second recipe called for them to be more flatbread than pita pocket. In my first batch, I made them thicker, trying to achieve a pocket capability, but didn’t, successfully.

Garlic pita flatbread with garlic/cauliflower hummus, garlic steak bites, diced cucumbers seasoned with salt and za’atar, (I used up the last of my homegrown tomatoes in earlier version), topped with store bought tzatziki sauce.

As a whole, it was tasty and satisfying

This is my first time entering a Challenge, so be easy!

I decided to make some Smoked Short Rib Cheesesteaks with Garlic Confit Spread



Smoked with post oak






Spread that garlic on the baguette. I really wanted to eat the bread just like this.



Shaved some provolone

Why are these submission threads so short on time? Why not make them longer. I don't log onto TD everyday so I could easily miss this one.

They are announced a month in advance and the thread is bumped several times leading up. This wasn't announced today. You just make your dish, and mark on your calendar the submission day. You get 24 hours. I think it's fair.

Garlic Shrimp Freddy with Roasted Garlic Alfredo Sauce and Garlic Parmesan Bread



This is a dish we always have at the beach, using leftover shrimp from the shrimp boils we always do as soon as we get there. Such good memories of past beach meals. Since the beach is hell hot right now, I did this one in the kitchen at home.



Start with ingredients:

Raw shrimp
Green Pepper
Red Pepper
Mushrooms
Onion
Zucchini for Zoodles - we usually use spaghetti
Garlic - my count shows 14 cloves
Butter
Parmesan Cheese
Heavy Cream
Black Pepper
Slap Ya Momma
Garlic salt (Lawry's)
Parsley
White Wine

Directions:

Shrimp:

Peeled, seasoned with lots of Garlic salt, black pepper and Slap Ya Momma seasoning, then set in the fridge for an hour or so to let the flavors do their thing







Roasting the Garlic:

I peeled the cloves, dropped them in an oven bowl with olive oil, covered with foil and roasted at 400 F for 30 minutes and then with no foil for 5 minutes. Mashed with fork and set aside.







Vegetables:

Diced or sliced Red and Green Bell Peppers, 4-6 mushrooms, and half an onion. Set aside until needed.





Parsley for bread and alfredo sauce:

Chopped and mixed into 6 Tablespoons of soft butter with Garlic Salt also added.











Garlic Butter and Parmesan French Bread

Started with bread, sliced in half, buttered with parsley garlic butter, topped with parmesan cheese and baked (while finishing Shrimp Freddy) at 400 then under broiler to crusty up the top.









Freddy (Alfredo) Sauce:

Start with Parsley and Garlic butter left over from bread. and 2 additional Tablespoons of butter. Melted in Pan, Add rest of parsley, 2 cups heavy cream, brought to a simmer, added black pepper, roasted garlic, and 1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese. continued under low heat until cheese was smooth and coated back of wooden spoon. Set aside until needed.













Cooking the dish:

Precooked Zoodles, seasoned with Slap Ya Momma, black pepper, and Garlic salt. If using spaghetti or other pasta, precook it.



In a large pan, melt butter, add 2 teaspoons olive oil and sauté the peppers, onion, mushrooms. Add wine and continue cooking until almost dry. Add shrimp and cook until shrimp are pink. Add Freddy sauce, zoodles and continue stirring until everything is coated and hot. Taste for seasoning and add salt if needed.



















Serving:

Plate and Serve with Garlic Parmesan French Bread.








Thanks for looking at my post.

My entry is pretty simple, but delicious, and sounded like a good dinner last weekend.

40 Cloves of Garlic Chicken



Season the chicken, duh.



Season the potatoes as well.



Cook the chicken thighs.



Remove chicken, add the wine and broth and other seasonings to cook the garlic.



Add the chicken back and simmer.



Obviously add cheese to your potatoes while roasting.



Done and enjoy, its an easy dish, but always delicious. The garlic was a little overdone this time, but there is no such thing as bad garlic.
