No. 37: Garlicky Meat Platter

IMG_6461.JPG

This isn't so much a recipe as a suggested use for pickled garlic. It can be eaten just like a pickle, which means it pairs well with many different kinds of meats. I like to serve it alongside chunky mustard and salty/spicy cured meats. The vinegary, garlicky crunch of the pickled garlic is a really nice juxtaposition to the fatty, chewy, salty cured meat. Enjoy!

TIP: 

Optional toppings: Additional cilantro, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, thinly sliced red onions, sour cream.

If you don’t have a slow-cooker, you can also use a large oven-safe pot. Simmer on the stovetop at 350°, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours.

Add 1 tsp Yellow Onion Dust or Green Onion Dust for more depth of flavor.
