Dip For Garlic Lovers Food

GARLIC LOVER'S CLAM DIP

Steps:

• Drain clam juice into a measuring cup or small container, and set aside.
• In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and enough of the clam juice for the dip to reach your desired consistency (it shouldn't be too thick that it will break your chips). Reserve the rest of the clam juice.
• Mix in chopped clams and fresh garlic.
• Mix in garlic salt (to taste).
• The dip can be served immediately, or chilled in the refrigerator to serve later. As the dip will thicken in the fridge, stir in some of the reserved clam juice before serving to bring it back to a nice thickness for dipping.
• Serve with Classic Lay's or Ruffles potato chips.

ROASTED GARLIC DIP

Steps:

• Cut the top third off each head of garlic so the cloves are exposed and wrap in foil. Roast the garlic until the cloves are very soft and golden, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly and then pop the cloves from the skins and finely chop.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to paper towels to drain.
• Mix together the sour cream and cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add the pancetta, chopped garlic, dill, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir to combine. Serve with crackers.

GARLIC LOVERS DIP

Steps:

• Take the Philadelphia Cream Cheese and put them through the microwave for about 25 seconds. Peel and then run garlic through a garlic press (amount depending on the size of the cloves and how much your friends like garlic) into the warm Philadelphia cream cheese. Add garlic powder and a splash of pickle juice.
• Then get a big strong spoon and mix and squeeze it all together thoroughly. Keep adding small amounts of pickle juice until you get it a little thinner than necessary as it will harden up a bit when the Philadelphia Cream Cheese cools. (Ideally you want to be able to use a ridged potato chip in the dip without breaking).
• Put in the refrigerator overnight to ferment and take out about an hour before serving to bring it up to room temperature.

THE VERY VERSATILE GARLIC DIP OR SPREAD

Steps:

• Shred cheese coarsely but with short strokes (we use muenster because it is so cheap and yummy and it is extremely moist, but you can use any other cheese of similar consistency. Don't use a cheese like parmesan or romano because the spread won't have the right texture.
• Combine mayonnaise, sour cream (you can also use low-fat yogurt in place of sour cream to save a few calories) and shredded cheese.
• Use a garlic press to mince the garlic directly over cheese mixture (you should use a garlic press because it will evenly distribute the juice of the garlic).
• If you crush it on a cutting board you will lose all the juice and your spread won't have the right flavor.
• Feel free to add additional cloves of garlic if you can handle it.
• My wife and I haven't been able to make it past five.
• Mix well and serve.
• We usually eat spread on a cracker or dark bread like rye but you can put it on just about anything.
• Enjoy.
