East sider here! 111th and Avenue M. Thanks for your recipe. Been in Michigan for over 40 years now but close enough to see family in Chicago. They buy it, don’t make it. I have made it a few times but I really like your recipe. My Dad taught me to make a deep “x” with a knife and stuff a garlic clove down in deep, repeatedly. No other way.
Lansing, IL here.
South of us were cornfields.
“My Dad taught me to make a deep “x” with a knife and stuff a garlic clove down in deep, repeatedly. “
That was what my Grandma taught me.
Found out it was quicker to use a big knife and stab harder.
The more garlic the better!!!
My grandparents always smelled funny, and thought it was becuz they were old. They ate a massive amount of garlic.
Until I started using massive garlic in my cooking and started to smell like my Grands.
It was worth it!
