INGREDIENTS

1 garlic bulb
1 teaspoon of olive oil
100 g of salted butter

METHOD

1. Preheat and Prepare:

Start by preheating your oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, allow the salted butter to reach room temperature, ensuring it’s perfectly soft for the magic ahead.

2. Garlic Glamour:

Embrace the humble garlic bulb, giving it a gentle wash before cutting off the top to expose the cloves. Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over the garlic head, allowing it to seep into the crevices, ready to infuse that unmistakable flavour.

3. Roasting Ritual:

Envelop the garlic bulb in aluminum foil, placing it in the preheated oven. Let the alchemy happen for 30-40 minutes, or until the cloves are adorned with a tempting golden-brown hue, and their texture yields to a gentle press.

4. Cool Elegance:

Once the garlic bulb emerges as a culinary masterpiece, let it cool for a moment. The anticipation is part of the pleasure.

5. Buttery Symphony:

In a bowl, welcome the softened salted butter. Now, the star of the show – gently squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the bowl, releasing their savoury essence.

6. Mash and Merge:

With a sense of culinary finesse, begin the merging of flavours. Mash the butter and roasted garlic together, allowing their individual qualities to intertwine into a symphony of taste and aroma.
