There is nothing quite like Roasted Garlic

Everyone in the office has a cold. They are dropping like flies, so I had no choice but to roast a whole bulb of garlic and smother it on crusty bread. Life is sweet!

Just drizzle a whole bulb, with skin on, in olive oil, season with salt and pepper and roast for 35-45 mins. I have a small pot which is ideal, and doesn't use "bad" tin foil. I understand if you can only use foil, but remember you can wash it up and re-use it if it has just been in contact with garlic :)

This does make a great starter. Just leave the bulb whole and let people dive in, popping the cloves out of the skin and spreading over beautiful, fresh, crusty bread. Don't forget to mop up the oil with the bread too!
