Vegetarian recipe for roasted garlic and garlic bread


Bread may just be the most perfect food in the world.

And the most perfect bread is garlic bread.

The problem is, I don’t want to use all that butter (yes, it is yummy, but it is also killer fattening). The solution? Roasted garlic. I have a recipe for it. And, good news, it is crazy easy!

The crazy thing is I had never made roasted garlic before I went to culinary school. I read about it, sure, but never made it.

This was one of the best parts of culinary school – getting to play with food!

Vegetarian recipe for roasted garlic
Peel as many garlic cloves as you like (alternatively, simply cut the top of a bulb, maybe a third of an inch down or so, to expose the garlic cloves). Toss with a tablespoon or two of olive oil. Put in a pan (I used a pie tin) and pop into a hot oven until they are soft (it took me nearly half an hour at 350 f).

Simply squeeze the garlic onto bread for the world’s most satisfying garlic bread (oh, I also add a good pinch of sea salt).

But don’t stop there. You can use roasted garlic all sorts of places. Such as squeezed on top of roasted vegetables for instant flavor.

And, bonus, you won’t have to worry about any pesky vampire action. At least for a while!

Recipes and recipes and recipes galore
You (or maybe just some of you) have asked me to post more vegetarian recipes. So what I’m doing is posting recipes AND, at the end of each recipe, posting links to even more recipes.

Sort of like a grand slam. Or something (sports analogies and me is never a good combination!).

Anyway, let me know if you like this idea.

So … back to garlic recipes.

Vegetarian garlic recipes
Here are three recipes that use a bit of garlic. They are all quite nice, but for the ones that use less garlic, I tend to add more garlic than is called for (One clove? One? Bah! I fearlessly double or triple or even quadruple that, depending on my mood. And if there will be kissing. Kissing and garlic, maybe not such a good combination!). Let me know what you think:

    Thats ture… Butter is fattening.. I use Patan ghee which contains fat soluble vitamins…They let body use needed fats and the rest get dissolved ..Same about cholesterol.. You can check wikipedia for this… Cheers
