If you are a huge on grilling and cooking meats, you have to check out Garlic Survival's Garlic Infused Chipotle Oil.  I use it just about every time I cook anything that involves meat; it adds a whole different and unique taste to any dish you prepare.  The chipotle in the oil is noticeable, but not overwhelming.  It has the perfect balance of spice and taste and it also hits home with the garlic flavors. One of my personal favorites from Garlic Survival and it will be yours too!  The smokey flavor from the oil also goes great when you pan fry some vegetables and mix it in with rice or any side dish of your choice.

Also, if you are a bread and olive oil kind of person, you must try Garlic Survival's Chipotle Oil.  I even drizzle some of this chipotle oil over my pizza and garlic bread.  There are some recipes located on our website if you are curious in the ways you can use this oil; just click here to view them all!  Enjoy

Add this to just about anything to add a nice unique kick!

Here are the nutritional facts on the Tomatillo Salsa


Just had this salsa with some chicken breasts last night...amazing! Such a perfect blend of spice and flavor and the garlic is a nice addition. If you marinate the chicken in the salsa 20-30 minutes prior to throwing it in the oven, the chicken comes out so moist and juicy.  Seriously one of my favorite dishes to make at home and its so easy.  Definitely recommend anyone who likes tomatillo salsa, or chicken in matter of fact, to try this out.  Enjoy!

Pork Stew in Tomatillo Salsa

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour 25 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

1 jar Garlic Survival Tomatillo Salsa

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1 (3 pound) boneless pork shoulder roast, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1-inch cubes

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, or more if needed

• 1 large onion, chopped

• 1 pinch salt, or to taste(optional)

• 2 tablespoons sour cream, divided

  
  

  Preparation

  1. 1) Stir together the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and cumin in a large bowl. Place the cubed pork into the mixture, and stir well to coat the meat with the seasonings.

  3. 2) Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Working in batches if necessary, place the meat into the hot pan in a single layer. Pan-fry the pork until brown on all sides, about 15 minutes. Remove the pork to a bowl, and cover to keep warm.

  5. 3) Cook and stir the onion in the hot pan over medium heat, adding more olive oil if necessary, until the onion is translucent and beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Return the meat to the pan and stir in 1 jar Garlic Survival Tomatillo Salsa. Check seasoning and add 1 pinch of salt to taste, if needed. Cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender, about 1 hour. Skim excess fat off the stew before serving in bowls, garnished with a dollop of sour cream and a cilantro sprig on each bowl.

Churros With Chocolate Dipping Sauce

Prep Time: 25 Minutes

Cook Time: 30 Minutes

Total Time: 55 Minutes

 

 Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup superfine sugar

• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

• 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 cup freshly boiled water

• 2 cups corn or vegetable oil, for deep-frying

• 
  

4 ounces Fudge Fatale The Ultimate Chocolate Sauce (or 1/2 jar)

 

Directions:

1. Mix the sugar and cinnamon for the churros in a wide, shallow dish; this is for coating the cooked churros.

 2. Put the flour into a bowl and stir in the baking powder, then beat in the olive oil and 1 cup freshly boiled water. Keep mixing until you have a warm sticky dough, and let rest for about 10 minutes or for as long as it takes for the corn oil to heat up.

 3. Heat the oil in a smallish saucepan; it should come about a third of the way up the sides of the pan. When you think it’s hot enough, toss in a cube of bread and see if it sizzles and browns. If it browns in about 30 seconds, it’s hot enough; or if you’re using an electric deep-fat fryer regulate the temperature, it should be at 325 degrees F. Keep a watchful eye on your hot oil pan at all times.

 4. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F.

 5. When you are ready, load up a piping bag with a large star shaped nozzle (8mm) and fill it with thechurro dough. Squeeze short lengths, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 inches, of dough into the hot oil, snipping them off with a pair of scissors as you go. Cook about 3 or 4 at a time. Once they turn a rich golden brown, fish them out with a slotted spoon or tongs onto a kitchen towel lined baking sheet. To keep the churros warm while you fry the remaining dough. Blot them with paper towels and transfer them to a parchment lined baking sheet. Put the baking sheet into the oven to keep the churros warm. Even if you let them sit out of the oven, they do need 5 to 10 minutes to rest before you eat them, to allow them to set inside.

 6. Place Fudge Fatale The Ultimate Chocolate Sauce in microwave without lid for 5-8 seconds or until desired consistancy.

 7. Toss the hot churros into the sugar and cinnamon mixture and shake them about to get a good covering, just before serving. Arrange the churros on a serving platter and serve.

 8. Pour the chocolate sauce into individual pots for serving and dip’n'dunk away.
