Kittencals Do Ahead Garlic Recipes

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together using clean hands adding in a small amount of breadcrumbs or crushed cracker crumbs ONLY if needed to hold the mixture together.
• Shape into six patties.
• Place the patties onto a large plate; cover and refrigerate for 6-24 or more hours.
• Before cooking the patties make an indent using your finger into the middle of each patty (this will reduce any shrinkage and prevent the patties from puffing up like a meatball when cooking).
• Grill, broil or fry until completely cooked through.

Steps:

• Butter a 13 x 9-inch casserole dish.
• Cook potatoes in a large pot of boiling water with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon white vinegar until just fork-tender (do not cook the potatoes until very soft just until a fork goes easily into the potatoes all the way)drain and place in a large bowl.
• Using an electric mixer beat the hot potatoes until just semi smooth and still a little chunky (I use my Kitchen Aid stand mixer for this).
• Add in cream cheese, sour cream, butter, onion powder, salt and black pepper; mix until combined and smooth.
• Spread the mixture into prepared baking dish.
• If desired you may sprinkle the top lightly with paprika, then allow to come down to room temperature.
• Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• When ready to bake set oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes or until hot.
• If desired sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and return to oven to melt (about 3 minutes).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Set oven rack to lowest position.
• Grease a small baking sheet.
• In a shallow bowl combine melted butter with 1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder and (if using) 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard.
• In another bowl combine all breading ingredients (remove about half to another small bowl to add in as needed).
• Dip the breast into the melted butter turning a few times to coat generously, then coat in the breading mixture pressing down firmly with hands to adhere the coating to the breast (you may need to turn the chicken breast a few time to coat well).
• Place on baking sheet.
• Continue with remaining chicken adding in more breading to the bowl as needed to coat the chicken.
• Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Steps:

• Set oven to 325°F.
• Lighly grease a large baking sheet.
• Place the butter, garlic powder or fresh minced garlic and salt or seasoned salt in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted.
• Mix in the dried parsley (if using).
• If you are using fresh garlic allow the melted butter mixture to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to infuse the garlic flavor into the butter.
• Brush both sides of the bread slices liberally with the melted butter mixture using a pastry brush.
• Using a serrated knife slice into small cubes or desired sizes.
• Place the bread cubes onto the baking sheet.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until desired crispness (watch closely these brown quickly!).
• Let cool and store in a covered container in the fridge or freeze.

Steps:

• Set oven to 375°F.
• ** FOR GARLIC BREAD; cut slices down the length of the bread about 1-inch intervals without cutting all the way through.
• In a bowl, combine the softened butter with garlic, parsley and Parmesan cheese; mix well to combine.
• Spread the butter/garlic mixture between bread slices, and then on the top of the loaf (you may sprinkle more Parmesan cheese on top of the loaf if desired).
• Wrap the bread in heavy-duty foil leaving the top partially uncovered.
• Bake until heated through (about 15 minutes).
• ** FOR GARLIC TOAST; slice the bread into slices, then spread the garlic butter mixture over the top of each slice of bread, then sprinkle more Parmesan cheese over the top of each slice or you can sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top in place of the Parmesan.
• Place onto a baking sheet and bake (350 degrees F) until lightly toasted to desired doneness.
• Serve warm.
• TO MAKE AHEAD: Combine all ingredients (except the bread) store covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze in a covered container ----- this bread can be made without the addition of the Parmesan cheese if desired, but of course it's better with the cheese!

Steps:

• Separate garlic bulbs into cloves.
• Peel off skins on each clove.
• On a processor, chop cloves until minced.
• Place the minced garlic in a glass bowl.
• Add in about 2 tablespoons oil or just enough oil so that the garlic holds together; mix until the minced garlic and oil are completely combined.
• Using a spoon divide the minced garlic between each hole in the ice tray, pushing down with the spoon (fill up hole as much as desired).
• Place the tray in the freezer until completely frozen, then pop out of the trays into a freezer bag.
• Note: this method can be used with any amount of garlic.
