From the Hills of Ischia: A Rustic Garlic Rabbit Stew
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Rabbit
Pat the rabbit pieces dry with a paper towel. Season them generously with salt and pepper. If you like, you can lightly dust the pieces with flour, which will help to create a golden crust and slightly thicken the stew.
2. Searing
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the rabbit pieces in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and sear until golden-brown on all sides. Remove the rabbit from the pot and set aside.
3. Build the Aromatic Base
Reduce the heat to medium, add a little more olive oil to the same pot. Place the two halves of the garlic bulb cut-side down, along with the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables soften and the onion becomes translucent.
4. Deglaze and Simmer
Return the seared rabbit pieces to the pot. Pour in the white wine to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the wine bubble and reduce by about half.
5. Stewing to Perfection
Add the chopped tomatoes, bay leaves, and rosemary sprig to the pot. Season again lightly with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 50-60 minutes, or until the rabbit meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
6. Finishing Touches
Once cooked, remove the bay leaf and rosemary sprig. You can squeeze the softened garlic cloves out of their skins and mash them into the sauce for a more intense garlic flavor, or simply leave the halves in for a milder taste. Stir in the fresh chopped parsley just before serving.
7. Serve
Serve the garlic rabbit stew hot, traditionally accompanied by creamy polenta, roasted potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious, aromatic sauce.

Mumbai’s Fiery Secret: Dry Garlic Chutney (Lasun Chutney)
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Roast the Ingredients
In a small, heavy pan over a low-medium flame, dry roast the garlic cloves until they develop a few light brown spots, which should take a couple of minutes. Remove them and set aside on a plate. In the same pan, dry roast the peanuts, stirring frequently until they are lightly browned and crunchy. Add these to the plate with the garlic. Finally, add the grated dry coconut to the hot pan, turn off the heat, and stir until it turns a light golden brown from the residual heat. Add the sesame seeds and roast for another 20-30 seconds until they begin to change color. Transfer everything to the plate and allow all the roasted ingredients to cool down completely.
2. Grind the Chutney
Once cooled, transfer the roasted garlic, peanuts, coconut, and sesame seeds to a small blender or grinder jar. Add the Kashmiri red chilli powder and salt. Pulse the grinder in short bursts of 4-5 seconds at a time, stopping to check the texture. Grinding continuously can release oils and make the chutney paste-like. Continue pulsing until you achieve a coarse, crumbly powder.
3. Store
Check the seasoning and add more salt if needed. Transfer the dry garlic chutney to an airtight glass jar. It can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks.

California Dreamin’: Creamy Roasted Garlic Soup
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Roast the Garlic
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the top quarter-inch off the heads of garlic to expose the cloves, place them on a sheet of foil, and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap the foil around the garlic and bake until the cloves are tender and golden brown, which should take about 45 minutes. Once cooled enough to handle, squeeze the soft, roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and set them aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and fresh thyme, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the reserved roasted garlic and the 18 minced raw garlic cloves to the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
3. Simmer the Soup
Pour in the broth, stir everything together, and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the raw garlic to become tender.
4. Blend and Finish
Carefully puree the soup until smooth using an immersion blender directly in the pot, or by transferring it in batches to a stand blender. Return the puréed soup to the saucepan. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Heat the soup gently over low heat, stirring until the cheese is melted and everything is well-combined and hot, but do not let it boil. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
5. Serve
Ladle the creamy garlic soup into four bowls. If desired, serve each bowl with a fresh lemon wedge to squeeze over the top or with a splash of dry sherry for an extra dimension of flavor. Garnish with extra shaved Parmesan or fresh thyme leaves.

Instructions:
1. Boil the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
2. Sauté the Greens and Garlic
While the potatoes are boiling, melt half of the butter (4 tbsp) in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shredded cabbage and chopped kale to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the greens have wilted and softened. Stir in the sliced green onions and cook for another minute, then remove from heat.
3. Mash the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot. Mash them until they are smooth but still have a slightly rustic texture. You can use a hand masher or a ricer for the best results.
4. Combine
Pour the warmed milk and the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter into the mashed potatoes. Stir until creamy and well combined.
5. Mix and Serve
Gently fold the sautéed garlic and greens mixture into the creamy mashed potatoes until everything is evenly incorporated. Season generously with salt and pepper to your taste.
