Garlic Slices

Garlic Slice Spice Mix Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons dried garlic slices
• 2 tablespoons dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika (ideally smoked)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried chili (optional for a spicy kick)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preparation of spices: Ensure the garlic slices are well dried. If they are too large, you can lightly crush or break them into smaller pieces for better integration into the mix.

2. Mixing ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the garlic slices with thyme, rosemary, basil, black pepper, oregano, paprika, chili, and salt (if using). Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.

3. Storage: Store the prepared mixture in an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dry place. The mix will retain its flavor and aroma for several months.

Usage Tips:

• Grilling and roasting: Use this mix to season meat before grilling or roasting. Simply sprinkle the mix over the meat and let it rest to allow the flavors to meld.
• Roasted vegetables: The mix is great for seasoning roasted vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, zucchini, or peppers.
• Pasta and rice: Add the mix to finished pasta or rice dishes to give them a bold and aromatic flavor.
• Soups and sauces: You can also add the mix to soups or sauces, where the garlic slices will impart a gentle garlic flavor.
