Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic
by James Beard
featured in Epicurean Delight:
The Life and Times of James Beard
by Evan Jones
Serves 8
convert Ingredients
2/3 cup olive oil
8 chicken drumstick and thighs (or 16 of either)
4 ribs celery, cut in long strips
2 medium onions, chopped
6 sprigs parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, or 1 teaspoon dried
1/2 cup dry vermouth
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper nutmeg
40 cloves garlic, unpeeled
Method
1. Put the oil in a shallow dish, add the chicken pieces,
and turn them to coat all sides evenly with the oil.
2. Cover the bottom of a heavy 6-quart casserole with a
mixture of the celery and onions, add the parsley and
tarragon, and lay the chicken pieces on top. Pour the
vermouth over them, sprinkle with salt and pepper, add a
dash or two of nutmeg, and tuck the garlic cloves around
and between the chicken pieces. Cover the top of the casserole
tight with aluminum foil and then the lid (this creates an
air-tight seal so the steam won't escape). Bake in a 375°oven
for 1 1/2 hours, without removing the cover.
3. Serve the chicken, pan juices, and whole garlic cloves with
thin slices of heated French bread or toast. The garlic should
be squeezed from the root end of its papery husk onto the bread
or toast, spread like butter, and eaten with the chicken.

Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic (Poulet a Quarante Gousses D'Ail)
Servings 4
INGREDIENTS:
1.3 kg/3 lb roasting chicken
salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 small bay leaves
4 tablespoons olive oil
40 large cloves garlic, unpeeled
thick slices of French bread
1 Preheat the oven to 190 C/375F/gas mark 5. Clean the
chicken cavity if necessary, rinse and dry with kitchen
paper. Place 3 sprigs of thyme, 1 sprig of rosemary and
1 bay leaf in the cavity.
2 Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the chicken and
cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until lightly coloured
all over. Place in a deep casserole just large enough to hold
the chicken. Place 2-3 cloves of garlic in the cavity, and
the remainder around the chicken. Pour over the oil from the
frying pan and place the remaining herb sprigs and bay leaf
on top of the chicken. Cover the dish tightly, sealing well
with a strip of foil around the rim, scrunching it to form a
tight seal. Bake for 1-3/4 hours-do not uncover during cooking.
3 Remove the dish from the oven and allow to stand, covered,
for 10 minutes before serving. Meanwhile toast the bread and
place in a serving basket.
4 Carve the chicken or cut it into pieces. The garlic cloves
can be served with the toasted bread if liked. The garlic is
squeezed out of its skin onto the toast or chicken.

Subject: Pomegranates
Hi there Unc.
Since things are supposed to be politically correct, what is the
right way to eat a pomegranate? Can you just chomp off a piece
or does one have to remove it from its rind, somehow? Does one
eat the seeds or just suck off the juice? Then what does one
do with the seeds? Sure need help on this one
Marian
Hi Marian,
The easiest way is to cut the pomegranate in half and then eat the "arils", or pulp covered seeds, with a spoon.
In the Mideast they are often sprinkled with sugar, lime juice or rose water. Some people eat the seed kernels and
some people suck off the tasty pulp and tactfully spit out the seeds.
The proper way to get to the arils is to fillet the pomegranate. This is best performed with the fruit submerged
in a bowl of water, to avoid squirts from its staining juice. Cut off a bit of the crown end, lightly score several
vertical lines, and break the sections apart. Scoop out the seeds. Discard pieces of rind, pith and membrane.
Finally, you can gently roll the fruit on a hard surface for a few minutes, breaking open the juicy membranes.
Poke a hole in the fruit and drink away!
