A dish to honour new season garlic, perfect for sharing with friends and al fresco dining.
Garlic revered the world over for both its medicinal use and flavour qualities. and with its stimulating scent, it had become a key component for many recipes. A close relative to the onion family, garlic comes in many forms, from black garlic to wet garlic, but for this recipe, we’re using new season garlic. The list of uses is endless for garlic, from simply chopped through a Bolognese sauce, to roasted whole and used in a spread.
