1. GARLIC SAUCE (THE LIQUID VERSION)
For all those who love garlic (like me), this is the real thing, you'll enjoy the taste and plus it will defend your body against cold and flu. Makalo goes well with barbecue and with everything else. The only drawback is that you'll eat a lot of bread :).

2. GARLIC SPREAD MAKALO
Garlic, garlic and garlic only! I think I fall in trance or other state of mind when I eat this god given food! I've been searching for the perfect recipe for a long time. The thing is I sometimes want it rare and sometimes I want it thick. So there's no perfect recipe, it's how you feel at that very moment. Whatever its aggregate state is, I just love it. I like the way it lowers my blood pressure to a state where I feel comfortably numb :) I have a tip for you, if you like makalo, find a partner who likes it as well :)
3. DRIED PEPPERS WITH GARLIC
Makalo (sauce) from dried peppers with garlic, simple and yet delicious old Macedonian recipe. Almost every family keeps dried peppers at home through the winter. In combination with warm bread you can eat the whole plate and ask for more. It's so simple and so delicious. I eat it without a fork, I use my fingers and a piece of bread which I soak in peppers and then lick my fingers :) Piggy right? :) You see the plate on the pic? Yup, I ate it whole.
4. MAKALO WITH POTATOES AND DRIED PEPPERS
