Roasted garlic spread is apparently the best\u00a0when soft young heads are used, so I thought it was the best moment to prepare it\u00a0for the first time. <span class=\"Apple-style-span\">After reading\u00a0different &#8211; all quite easy and similar &#8211; recipes, I finally proceeded in my own\u00a0way. I had no idea how to handle the\u00a0heads\u00a0once\u00a0they were\u00a0out of the oven, so I\u00a0hesitated a bit\u00a0before squeezing the soft baked flesh onto a piece of crunchy baguette.\u00a0This is how I\u00a0discovered one of the most luscious\u00a0bread spreads I can imagine. Maybe\u00a0it&#8217;s due to young &#8220;age&#8221; of\u00a0garlic, but in my opinion the taste mellows enough to\u00a0recommend it\u00a0even to those who are not big garlic eaters (though of course, those who hate it, will not appreciate even its wonderful smell).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">TIPS: You can also roast\u00a0&#8220;old&#8221; dry garlic heads, but the flesh will probably have a stronger taste and maybe you might have to adapt the baking time too.<\/p>\n<p><em>Preparation: about 40\u00a0minutes<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ingredients:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>4 young garlic heads<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>thyme, salt, olive oil<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 160\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>Place garlic heads in a baking dish. Cut off their tops, cutting also the tops of cloves.<\/p>\n<p>Sprinkle some olive oil, season generously with salt and thyme and bake for about 40 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Serve hot with good quality bread, squashing the entire heads to retrieve the soft flesh (you will probably need to sprinkle some more salt on\u00a0your spread).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s best when warm, but you can also serve it cold.<\/p>\n<p>(You can also season it with ground pepper just before serving).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wondered what to do those with beautiful garlic heads you see\u00a0in spring on farmers&#8217; markets?
