I respectfully disagree. Garlic is a must for anything other than chocolate cake or apple pie!

That's at least two lifetimes of rub and marinade recipes. Great reference. Thanks for the link.

THAT borders on a pejorative comment. Have you *actually* tried garlic with chocolate cake or apple pie? Do you have any idea at all of how many other people eat their cake and pie with garlic? No? I didn't think so. Next time please be a little more considerate of other's eating habits before you go off like that.

Well, I have learned that boiling garlic cloves for ten minutes eliminates the sharp bitter part of their tastes but keeps them soft and flavorful. Works great for garlic mashed potatoes.

I suppose chocolate covered boiled garlic cloves couldn't be any riskier than chocolate coated grasshoppers.

How about "roasted garlic on the BGE"?

I have also discovered that frozen corn on the cob goes well with garlic. We usually freeze up a couple of bushel of fresh right-out-of-the-field sweet corn every year. One way I like to fix it is on the BGE. Simply wrap the corn in aluminum foil, along with a generous dollop of butter AND seasoned with garlic salt and pepper if you like. In an hour or hour and 1/2 or so at about 250 degrees, it comes out really great.

Roasted, chocolate-covered garlic

Peel 2-3 heads' worth of garlic cloves.
Toss the peeled cloves in a splash of olive oil and spread on a tinfoil-lined baking sheet. Roast in the oven/toaster oven at 350 until cloves are soft but still maintaining structural integrity (about 30 minutes). Spear each garlic clove with a toothpick, placing them on a plate with wax paper and cool.
Melt a bar of good chocolate in a small saucepan on the stove. When it's melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and hold each clove by the toothpick to spoon melted chocolate over it.
Place each chocolate-covered clove on the wax paper-covered plate and keep in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 days) for the chocolate to set before serving.

2 days? As if it would last that long....

I 've found that for a great smokey taste in meatloaf you smoke tomatoes ahead of time and put some of them in the meatloaf mix and it is great. I quarter tomatoes and spray them with olive or grape seed oil and smoke them with apple or hickory at about 250 them freeze for later. It doesn't take much as they really absorb the smoke,just a couple of pieces in a meat loaf.

Yep great idea on smoking tomatoes ahead of time. We do something similar.

Fish is also a good candidate for the smoker. My favorite salt water fish to smoke is yellowtail with tuna a close second. Lots of folks really like salmon and the only way I personally care for it is smoked. Trout is great smoked but a lot of people add way too much salt for some reason.

A light smoke on small lobster tails pulled out of the shell can be oh so wonderful! When our local grocery sells them for less than $5 we pick up a couple. Careful not to overcook.
