Is there any savory ingredient quite as versatile as garlic? This unassuming little bulb is such a flavor powerhouse: bold, pungent and sharp when raw; nutty, umami and earthy when powdered; and mellow, sweet and subtle when cooked. Garlic is also an inexpensive and efficient way for operators to freshen up seasonal or LTO offerings without bringing excess specialty products.

Tribeca Oven offers two delicious products featuring garlic: Café Classic Garlic Loaf and Garlic Petite Pull Aparts. The Café Classic Garlic Loaf makes amazing garlic bread, and is the perfect size for toasts and tartines. The Garlic Petite Pull Aparts are available in a convenient 10-segment format, and are a creative addition to a restaurant or cafe’s bread service. Both of these crowd-pleasing breads include plenty of roasted garlic for an authentic aroma and flavor. And, like all Tribeca Oven products, these artisan breads are made from sustainably-sourced wheat and contain no preservatives, no artificial colors or flavors, and are free from bioengineered ingredients.

Thai Nguyen, Culinary Technologist at C.H. Guenther & Son, developed three on-trend recipes for our operator community that include Tribeca Oven’s Garlic Loaf and Garlic Pull Aparts. While garlic is a foundational component in many recipes, these are dishes where garlic is elevated to become the star of the show.

Tomato Tartare
While “tartare” is often associated with steak tartare, the culinary phrase can actually refer to any food that’s chopped finely and served raw. This innovative recipe — perfect for a “small plates” section of a menu — is an easy pick-up: fresh tomatoes are marinated with basil and a blend of spices, similar to classic bruschetta topping. Then, each slice of Café Classic Garlic Loaf is rubbed with decadent garlic confit before it’s topped with the tomato mixture. The caramelized flavors of the garlic meld with the tangy tomatoes for an irresistible flavor that’s sure to entice plant-based diners.

Artichoke and Roasted Cream Cheese Pull Aparts
For an effortless spring-themed appetizer, this recipe blends roasted artichokes with light, airy whipped cream cheese spread on Garlic Petite Pull Aparts. The result is an elegant nosh reminiscent of tea finger sandwiches, which would be well-suited for a passed hors d'oeuvres or as a vegetarian happy hour snack.

Shredded Chicken with Spinach and Feta Melt
Inspired by Mediterranean flavors, this high protein sandwich seamlessly blends the roasted garlic flavor of our Café Classic Garlic Loaf with juicy chicken, spinach and salty feta cheese. The bread is toasted so its sturdy crumb can hold up to the generous trio of toppings. Serve it with a cup of soup or chips for a great addition to a dine-in or takeaway lunch menu.
