I also roasted some elephant garlic to have with our dinner. Once it is roasted, the garlic is dark, almost purple, and incredibly soft. We spread the roasted garlic on French bread with a little butter. I could eat roasted elephant garlic plain... it is so delicious! I have included the recipe at the end of this post.
Roasted Elephant Garlic
You Will Need:
Elephant Garlic (look in the produce section, typically found with garlic, shallots, and onion)
Olive Oil
Knife
Foil
A small, oven safe ramekin
1. Set the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Peel off the outermost layer of skin from the garlic. Leave some of the peel on.
3. Cut about a quarter of an inch off the top of the garlic.
