Garlic: the tiny but mighty ingredient that transforms the simplest dishes into something unforgettable. Whether you’re roasting it, blending it, or melting it into butter, garlic brings a depth of flavour that no kitchen should be without.
At Wonky, we love using garlic to bolden up sauces and spreads—the kind of flavour-packed additions that take meals from “meh” to magic. Whether it’s a silky-smooth dip, a rich umami-packed sauce, or a buttery garlic infusion, these three recipes will show you just how much of a game changer garlic can be.
If you’ve ever wondered how to make that creamy, garlicky sauce you get at Middle Eastern restaurants, this is it. Light, fluffy, and packed with punchy garlic flavour, you'll soon find yourself addicted to this spread. Enjoy it on wraps, drizzle it over roasted veggies, or use it as a dip for just about anything.
Rich, savoury, and velvety smooth, this sauce takes pasta, steak, and roasted veg to the next level. If you’re a fan of umami-packed flavours, this one’s for you. Bonus: it’s quick to whip up, making it perfect to elevate simple weeknight meals.
Simple? Yes. Essential? Absolutely. Whether you’re slathering it on fresh bread, melting it over hot veggies, or using it to level up your mashed potatoes, garlic butter is a must-have in any kitchen. And trust us—it’s even better when you've made it yourself.
From sauces to spreads, garlic makes everything better. Try these 3 glorious garlic recipes and let us know your favourite way to enjoy this flavour-packed staple!
