Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic

Serves 4-5

A real garlic-lover's dish, your house will be filled with a wonderful aroma! When you serve the dish, give a few cloves to each person. They can squeeze the softened garlic onto toasted bread.

1/4 cup olive oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper

1 Tbs. chopped fresh rosemary

1 Tbs. chopped fresh parsley

40 cloves garlic, unpeeled (about 3 heads)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the chicken with olive oil. Rub the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with herbs. Place half the garlic cloves inside the chicken. Put the chicken in a casserole dish. Put in the remaining garlic cloves. Cover and bake for one hour and 15 minutes. Remove cover and bake 15 minutes more.

Phyllo Cups with Cream and Fruit

Makes 12

4 sheets phyllo (fillo) dough, thawed and covered with a damp towel

1/4 cup melted butter

1/3 cup heavy cream

1/3 cup sour cream

2 Tbs. sugar

1/4 tsp. vanilla

3 cups fresh or frozen berries

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly coat muffin tins with nonstick vegetable spray or oil.

Working quickly, lightly coat a sheet of phyllo with melted butter. Place a sheet of dough on top. Lightly coat with butter. Repeat with two more sheets of dough. Cut into 12 squares. Press each square into the muffin tin, pressing down on the bottom and sides. Bake until crisp, about 7 to 10 minutes (be careful not to burn them). Let cool in the tins before removing. Place each "cup" on a plate.

In a small bowl whip cream, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla until almost stiff. Spoon into phyllo cups. Top with berries. Serve immediately.
