German Garlic Recipes

German cooking is hearty and warming, balancing rich roasted and braised meats with the sharp lift of vinegar, mustard and pickles. When German cooks work with garlic, they reach for caraway, mustard, vinegar, onions, juniper and cured pork, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering, boiling, grilling and baking.

The aromatic foundation of savoury cooking almost everywhere — pungent raw, sweet and mellow when cooked. In this collection it's most often cooked with onion, mustard, fine sea salt, rye bread, chives and citrus juice or vinegar. The dishes here span german classics ready in as little as 35 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
