Roast garlic
a soft, sweet flavour
Prep —Cook 45 minsServes 4
Once garlic is roasted, it becomes creamy, sweet and spreadable, so it can actually be used as a healthy alternative to butter at the dinner table. Did you know that the British are now eating as much garlic as the French? This can only be good, as garlic is packed with vitamins C and B6, as well as manganese, selenium and other antioxidants, contributing to the reduction of blood pressure, reduced cholesterol and cardiovascular diseases. So eat your garlic at least twice a week!
