Creating a garlic dish that not only paired well with white wine, looked appealing when plated, but also didn't require silverware was something Garlic Scapes' Mike Dimmitt spent time conceptualizing. The recipe he shares with us fulfills all three requirements.
Mike also explained a common misconception diners have about food handling on the lonchera. Turns out many tend to wear three sets of gloves at a time; so after handling money while taking an order, one layer is removed to work on preparation. Once the third layer comes off, another trio is put on. We're thinking the glove manufacturers are making a killing these days.
