What to do with roast garlic?
Iggy's Boy
24-03-2014
I roasted a chicken with a garlic bulb inside it tonight and ended up with a nice bulb of roasted garlic. I've previously used roasted garlic mashed up in salad dressings and in gravies but I wondered what else I could do with it.

It's wrapped in foil in the fridge now and I was wondering what I could make for dinner tomorrow that made use of it (other than the aforementioned dressing or gravy).

Can you suggest something please?

You can make a garlic sauce/aioli.

You could just spread it on toast.

I like the aioli idea. I probably wouldn't bother making mayonnaise, just mash it up, mix with Hellmans and season maybe with a bit of lemon juice. Thanks!

It's fantastic in mashed potatoes.

A bit uncouth I know but I just squeeze each clove straight into my mouth whilst they are still warm. Heavenly.

Use it in a pasta sauce with some of the leftover chicken, if there is any left.
If there's not, use it in a pasta sauce anyway.

When I make a garic sauce which is similar to what we get in takeaways around here I half the mayo with yoghurt or soured cream.

There's also a middle eastern version which uses mashed potatoes as a thickener.

Another time, if you have time/the inclination to make the aioli from scratch, use cold pressed rapeseed oil. It gives it the most fantastic rich yellow colour.

I would roast some tomatoes and peppers in the oven, liquidize them all together and have a great pasta sauce or soup (ive used it as both)
