Garlic

 

Stinking rose lily,


famous for pungent flavors,


good in any dish.

Happy Garlic Day!

Celebrating today one of the most versatile delicious food plant ingredients of all time. It's notorious in pasta dishes and almost every sauce for various plates. Its medicinal property is antibiotic and its strong aroma can carry like the scent of an onion without the crying unless you eat it raw. Which, by the way, is very good for your health.


I've added the dried ground seasoning as well as pieces of it inside of my soup for lunch. How will you enjoy your garlic today?
