Israeli Garlic Recipes

Israeli cuisine — Shakshuka, falafel, hummus and the vibrant flavours of Israeli cuisine — brings its own distinctive techniques and seasonings to every ingredient it touches. When Israeli cooks work with garlic, they reach for its own regional aromatics, fats and signature spice blends, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering, frying, roasting and boiling.

The aromatic foundation of savoury cooking almost everywhere — pungent raw, sweet and mellow when cooked. In this collection it's most often cooked with fine sea salt, olive oil, ground cumin, onion, eggs and tahini. The dishes here span israeli classics ready in as little as 10 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
