Autumn is the perfect time of year to pull out your slow cooker. While you tackle your busy day, it cooks your hearty, delicious dinner to tender perfection. It lends itself well to a variety of cuisines, too. Whether you’re making an Italian-style braised beef dish, Southwestern chili or stew, or a refined French soup, Garlic Gold® makes any slow-cooked recipe into a family favorite.
Here are a few tips on how to best incorporate Garlic Gold Oil and Nuggets into your slow cooker dishes.
- Garlic Gold Nuggets are not only great as toppings, they’re a wonderful addition to slow cooker recipes, too! Our Italian and Herbs de Provence Nuggets are at their best when added to cooked recipes, as this gives the herbs a chance to flavor the whole dish from start to finish. Add a couple big spoonfuls of Italian Nuggets to your favorite beef stew recipe, and sprinkle Herbs de Provence Nuggets into Chicken Provençal.
- Garlic Gold Oil is perfect for browning meats before adding them to the slow cooker. The next time you’re making a chuck roast or brisket, sear it on the stovetop with Garlic Gold Oil, transfer it to your slow cooker, add your favorite seasonings and , and let it go for 8 hours on the low setting. You’ll end up with a tender cut of meat with lots of deep, roasted garlic flavor.
- Southwest Nuggets are a natural pairing with slow cooker pulled pork recipes. Pour half a bottle of nuggets in with your favorite recipe and you’ll see what we mean! When the meat is cooked for 8 hours or more, it becomes fall-apart tender – just break it apart with two forks, and you have delicious shredded pork to add to tacos or serve with baked beans and coleslaw.
