Garlic Stuffed Roast Recipes

GARLIC-STUFFED ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425. In a small bowl, roughly mash 3/4 cup Roasted Garlic with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.
• Rinse chicken inside and out and pat dry. Gently slip your fingers between skin and meat of breast, thighs, and legs to loosen skin. Evenly spread mashed garlic under skin, starting with leg and thigh area and working your way back toward neck. Generously season chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Tuck wing tips underneath chicken and tie legs together with kitchen twine.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or roasting pan on high. Add oil, swirl to coat skillet, then add chicken. Cook 1 minute, then transfer skillet to oven. Roast chicken until skin is deep golden brown and juices run clear when pierced between breast and leg (an instant-read thermometer should read 160 degrees when inserted in thickest part of a thigh, avoiding bone), 40 to 45 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before carving.

GARLIC-STUFFED ROAST BEEF FOR PO'BOYS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Stuff half of the garlic into the roast. Sprinkle the roast with the salt and pepper. Put the remaining garlic in the bottom of a roasting pan. Set roast fat-side up on top of garlic and add water to the bottom of the pan.
• Bake, uncovered, until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees F. Refrigerate the roast and liquid overnight.
• The next day, skim off any fat from the top of the liquid. Heat the liquid on the stove until it reaches the desired consistency for a gravy. Thinly slice the roast and add to the gravy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. If you like, serve the beef in French bread with mayonnaise, lettuce, dill pickle slices and tomato slices.
