Allotmenticity - Roasted Isle of Wight Garlic

ROASTED ISLE OF WIGHT GARLIC

INGREDIENTS
1 head garlic per person
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil per bulb.

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F.

2. Remove the outer papery covering of the garlic. Slice off the top of the head so most of the cloves are exposed. Place on a square of aluminum foil for easy cleanup, or select the smallest baking dish you have. Drizzle the oil over the cloves. Fold the foil over the head to completely enclose it, or cover the baking dish with foil.

3. Roast for about 30/40 minutes, until the garlic is completely soft and lightly browned.

A great way to serve roasted garlic cloves is on toasted bread with soft green cheese and roasted peppers. Heavenly!

I remember ordering this roasted garlic in a restaurant in Vancouver years ago. Just squeeze the lovely golden cloves onto a piece of toast and enjoy! mmmm
