Hey, you! 😊
Raise your hand if you looooooove garlic! ✋✋
If you don't, then you might not like this recipe (or ... it might change your mind).
But if you do, then you will definitely love this because Pollo al Ajillo equals chicken + garlic. The recipe asks for a loooot of garlic, but trust me, it's all worth it!
By the way, this is a Thermomix recipe. I could probably make it the "traditional" way, but I made it for the first time using the thermomix and it worked. Not a single one of us was left unimpressed - we all oohed and aahed. So why change a winning team, right?
