Roasted Garlic

Luckily for me my wife enjoys garlic as much as I do.  Man that would be tough if she didn't.  Truthfully, we probably wouldn't still be together.  I always have some roasted garlic in the fridge ready to go.  It's one of those simple things to make and tastes GREAT too.

Roasted Garlic

Why roast it whole?

Well aside from the sheer convenience of doing it whole instead of individual cloves there are some actual benefits

  1. Roasted garlic will add so much flavour to a dish
  2. Just squeeze it and the cloves will all come out.  #nopeelingnecessary
  3. The house will smell AMAZING
  4. It keeps for a few weeks if stored correctly - airtight container and olive oil. Boy does that oil taste good too!
  5. It's healthy - lowers cholesterol, helps immune system and lowers your blood pressure

Roasted GarlicRoasted Garlic

Aside from all these wonderful facts above roasted garlic is truthfully just delicious.  Roasting it brings out some of the natural sugars so you get a little caramel flavours.  It softens the taste a little so it isn't quite as pungent (for the no garlic lovers).  The texture is great too.  It's spreadable/mashable without any lumps so great to add into salad dressings or make roasted garlic aioli/mayonnaise with.

    I ADORE this! Anything with garlic in the title has my tick of approval! And roasted - on the best. It brings back delicious memories when I was working in the airline industry - my best friend and I, when in Melbourne, would always get an amazing steak with a whole head of roasted garlic and smear the delicious contents over the top.
    I am sure no one else appreciated it - especially when we went to work the next day - but we loved it, and still talk about those happy times! 🙂
