Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Squeeze the warm roasted garlic directly from the cloves and spread it over Bread or use it to add a mellow garlic flavour to mashed vegetables. It is also excellent stirred into recipes from the Dips, Sauce, and Marinade collections.Variations
Keep the basic version simple with avocado oil and salt, or use the roasted cloves as a starting point for different preparations. Mash them into a smooth paste for a Spread, blend them into a dressing from the Dressing collection, or incorporate them into other recipes from Condiments.Storage
Allow unused roasted garlic to cool and transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days as stated in the original recipe. Prepare only the amount you expect to use within this period rather than keeping roasted garlic for extended storage.Wine Advice
Roasted garlic is usually an ingredient or accompaniment rather than a complete dish, so the best wine depends on what you serve with it. A Sauvignon Blanc can work well when the garlic is used with vegetables, dips, or lighter dishes. Explore suitable wines at René’s Wijnbeleving.Nutrition values
