Snack or spicy garnish - garlic toast
Garlic is healthy, this is well known. However, the strong, slightly spicy taste of the tuber is unacceptable to many people. In this case you should try roasted garlic. So cooked, the toes are sweet and are a tasty side dish to roast. But also as a snack in between, for example on a piece of white bread, roasted garlic is a treat.
Roasting garlic in a pan
If you want to go fast, garlic can be roasted in a pan or in a deep fryer.
- Divide the garlic bulb and peel the individual toes. Heat plenty of fat in a high pan or deep fryer. Put the toes in the hot fat and cook them with regular turning. They must not be too dark. Once the toes are soft, remove them from the fat and allow the garlic to drain well. Serve the toasted toe as a side dish to meat, vegetables or just fresh bread.
Roast garlic in the oven
If larger quantities of garlic are to be roasted, the oven variant of the pan is preferable. Prepare the garlic bulbs as follows:
- Remove the outer skin of the tuber, keeping the skin on each toe. Cut off the upper part of the tuber so that all toes are visible but still connected. Drizzle a little olive oil over the garlic bulb. The oil should wet all toes. Take a piece of aluminum foil and wrap the tuber well. Preheat your oven to 175 degrees. Place the wrapped tubers on a baking sheet and put it in the oven for about half an hour. Take the roasted tubers out of the oven and press the individual toes out of the paper-thin casing. The garlic now has a creamy consistency and is served, among other things, with meat dishes. With a little salt and olive oil
The roasted, creamy garlic makes a tasty spread on fresh baguette.
Instead of wrapping the tubers in aluminum foil, you can also place them close together in a paseo casserole dish.
