ROASTED GARLIC WITH THYME
INGREDIENTS
- slice whole heads of garlic in half through the middle
- place on a baking tray cut side facing up
- drizzle generously with very good quality olive oil
- scatter fresh thyme leave, sea salt flakes and freshly ground pepper over them cover with tin foil
- bake at 180 C for 30 minutes
- remove the foil and continue baking for a further 10 odd minutes until the garlic starts to go golden brown
DIRECTIONS
Squeeze a couple of cloves of roasted garlic onto slices of toast or bruschetta, spread them, season and eat. You could also use the garlic as a replacement for butter, and then top with other things such as roasted vegetables, slices of prosciutto or pan fried mushrooms. If you don’t use it all in one go, make a paste with the roasted garlic, store in a small jar and cover with olive oil. Great for pasta sauces.
