Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley (a couple of handfuls)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
Coarse salt, about 1 teaspoon
2 tablespoons (a couple of generous drizzles) extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup (4 turns around the pan in a light stream) extra-virgin olive oil
1 (2-ounce) tin anchovy fillets
6 to 8 large cloves garlic, crushed and minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls
Coarse salt
1 pound spaghetti, cooked to al dente
Tomato and Onion Salad, as an accompaniment
Crusty bread, as an accompaniment
5 medium plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise, gently seeded, and thinly sliced
1 small white skinned onion, peeled, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley (a couple of handfuls)
A generous drizzle extra-virgin olive oil, about 2 tablespoons
Coarse salt and black pepper
Crusty Bread, as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Combine shrimp with next 6 ingredients and toss to coat shrimp evenly.
  • Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium high heat, then add half of the shrimp. Cook shrimp 3 minutes until pink and just firm. Remove shrimp to a warm platter and repeat process with remaining shrimp.
  • Return pan to heat and reduce heat to medium low. Add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Add anchovies, garlic, and pepper flakes to oil. Break up anchovies with a wooden spoon until they melt away into the oil and garlic mixture.
  • Toss spaghetti in the pan with parsley and the garlic oil, then season with a little coarse salt, to your taste. Top servings of garlic and oil spaghetti with spicy shrimp and serve with Tomato and Onion Salad and Crusty Bread.
  • Prep your garlic and parsley for aglio olio and set them, as well as drained pasta and remaining ingredients all within arm's reach of your stove top.
  • The aroma will be intense! Cooked anchovies have a salted-nutty (rather than fishy) taste that compliments the garlic as it sweetens and softens.
  • Toss the tomatoes and onions with the chopped parsley, oil, salt, and pepper. Let stand while you prepare dinner, about 20 minutes. Re-toss and serve salad with crusty bread for mopping up juices and oil.

Herb Garlic Oil image

This is a basic garlic oil that can be used as a dipping sauce for bread, the oil half of an Italian vinaigrette, or as the base for Mediterranean-style cooking. If you use it for the latter, though, you may want to omit the herbs and add the extra-virgin olive oil unless your pan is non-stick or you do not mind burned little flecks of oregano and parsley.

SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC, OLIVE OIL AND RED PEPPER FLAKES



Spaghetti with Garlic, Olive Oil and Red Pepper Flakes image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound dried spaghetti
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic cloves
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, plus more if desired
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving 2 tablespoons of the pasta water. The reserved pasta water will help create the sauce. Do not rinse pasta with water -- you want to retain the pasta's natural starches so that the sauce will stick.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until light brown and fragrant. It's important not to burn the garlic or else it will become bitter. Remove and discard the browned garlic. Add the red pepper flakes and saute for 1 minute. Carefully add the pasta and toss to coat in the flavored oil. Add the reserved pasta water and cook, stirring, to create a sauce, 1 minute.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and top with the fresh herbs.

SAUTéED BEET GREENS WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL



Sautéed Beet Greens with Garlic and Olive Oil image

Beets are available and good year round, but their season is June through October, when they are at their most tender. Look for unblemished bulbs with sturdy, unwilted greens. Whatever type of beets you buy, always buy them with the greens attached. Then you get two vegetables for the price of one, and greens add a whole set of nutrients to the picture, most notably beta-carotene, vitamin C, iron, and calcium. You can often get beet greens for free at the farmers' market because some people ask the vendors to chop off the tops when they buy their beets. This simple recipe (which can be used for any type of green) is great on its own as a side dish, or you can toss the greens with pasta, add them to an omelet or risotto, or use them in a gratin or a quiche.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 20m

Yield Serves 2 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound beet greens (2 large or 3 small bunches)
Salt
1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (optional)
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you stem the greens and wash the leaves in 2 rinses of water. When the water comes to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the greens. Blanch for 2 minutes, until tender. Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water, then drain and squeeze the water out from its leaves. Chop coarsely.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the garlic and hot red pepper flakes (if using) and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant and translucent, 30 to 60 seconds. Stir in the greens. Stir for a couple of minutes, until the greens are nicely seasoned with garlic and oil. Season with salt and pepper, remove from the heat, and serve.

ROASTED GARLIC OIL



Roasted Garlic Oil image

This recipe yields 2 incredible items. One is the listed garlic oil, the other is lots of roasted garlic. Search away if you can't think of what to use the roasted garlic in. I use the oil in just about everything that I want to have a nice garlic flavor. Great in salad dressings. A couple of tips here. First, don't waste your money using high end extra virgin olive oil. Just use the plain old olive oil. Second, if you can find it, use the already peeled and processed garlic cloves. I'd rather pay extra for someone else to do that, than peel 2 pounds of garlic by hand.

Provided by ROV Chef

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 quart oil

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 lbs garlic cloves, peeled
1 quart olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F.
  • Place garlic in a deep casserole dish and cover with oil. Add extra if needed to cover all the garlic. don't use as much as called for if it won't all fit in your dish. This is not an exact recipe here. The main thing is that all the garlic is covered with oil.
  • Cook in the oven until the garlic is soft and squishy.
  • Remove from oven and let it cool a bit.
  • Remove garlic from the oil and set aside. Let the garlic cool completely in the fridge before you cover it.
  • Pour oil through a coffee filter and into a shallow pan and let it cool in the fridge before you bottle it.
  • Keep refrigerated and use the oil soon.
  • The garlic can be frozen if you want to hold on to it for awhile, but it will break down when it's thawed. I like to puree it into a smooth past and use it that way.
  • BE ADVISED! SOME LOCAL HEATH DEPARTMENTS CLAIM THAT THERE IS A RISK WHEN MAKING HOMEMADE FLAVORED OILS.
  • To help avoid any risk of illness I suggest that you treat this entire procedure like you are doing home canning. SANITIZE EVERYTHING THAT WILL COME IN CONTACT WITH FOOD!
  • I can't stress this enough. Botulism is nothing to mess around with. I have never had a problem with my flavored oils. Always smell them before you use them. If there is any doubt about the quality, TOSS IT! You can't be too careful.
  • Be careful and enjoy.

GRILLED FLATBREAD WITH RICOTTA CHEESE, FRESH TOMATOES, OREGANO AND ROASTED GARLIC OIL



Grilled Flatbread with Ricotta Cheese, Fresh Tomatoes, Oregano and Roasted Garlic Oil image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     appetizer

Time 5h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 recipe Flatbread, recipe below
1 (8-ounce) container ricotta cheese, drained
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 plum tomatoes, very thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chiffonade fresh basil
1/2 cup olive oil
6 cloves roasted garlic
1 1/2 cups warm water (105 to 110 degrees F)
1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive or canola oil, plus more for bowl

Steps:

  • Roasted Garlic Oil:
  • Place oil and garlic in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain.
  • Flatbread:
  • Mix water and yeast in a large bowl and let stand 5 minutes to proof. Gradually pour in 2 cups of the flour and stir to incorporate. Mix for about 1 minute to form a sponge. Let stand, covered, for at least an hour.
  • Put sponge in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook, add the salt and oil, then add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a dough. Remove from bowl and knead. Place in a clean oiled bowl and let rise, slowly, about 2 1/2 hours. Divide dough into 4 balls, if desired, let rise again for 1/2 hour, and then roll out as desired.
  • Flatten flatbread dough, gently press into a large rectangle, brush liberally with olive oil, and throw on grill. Grill on both sides until golden brown. Spread 1 side with ricotta, sprinkle with salt and pepper, scatter tomatoes over, drizzle with Roasted Garlic Oil, and garnish with basil and more freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
  • Yield: 4 individual flatbreads or 1 large flatbread

Tips:

  • Choose fresh garlic cloves: Look for plump, firm cloves with no signs of sprouting or bruising. Fresh garlic will yield the best flavor and aroma.
  • Slice the garlic thinly: This will help the garlic infuse its flavor into the oil more easily.
  • Use a neutral-flavored oil: Olive oil or avocado oil are good choices, as they have a high smoke point and won't overpower the flavor of the garlic.
  • Heat the oil gently: Overheating the oil can cause the garlic to burn and become bitter.
  • Infuse the oil slowly: Allow the garlic to simmer in the oil over low heat for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Strain the oil: Once the garlic has infused the oil, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.
  • Store the oil in a cool, dark place: Garlic oil can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Garlic oil is a versatile and flavorful ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's a great way to add a boost of flavor to pasta, rice, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for bread or crackers. With its many uses and long shelf life, garlic oil is a must-have in any kitchen.
