Our Winning Garlic Recipe Is A Tongue-Twister
Listen
• 7:55
Dice it, mix it, mash it with potatoes or shrimp or pasta — a little garlic goes a long way in the kitchen. We asked you to send us your garlic recipes — and you sure did. California garlic farmer Chester Aaron picked his favorite three from your submissions and handed them over to NPR food essayist Bonny Wolf.
Chef Carla Hall from the Bravo show Top Chef and Chef Rock Harper, winner of Fox's Hell's Kitchen, gathered at Wolf's home to pick the winner.
Wolf prepared the dishes and our judges started tasting. In the end, the dish that impressed them most was the one with the scariest ingredients — six to 12 habanero peppers and cup after cup of garlic.
The winner was Silver Bill's Gabanero Tongue-Twister Hot Sauce, submitted by William Maxwell of Vandalia, Mo.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
