Instructions
- To roast the garlic, just slice a little off the top of a head of garlic and drizzle with a little oil. Wrap it in tin foil or use a garlic cooker. Cook at 350 degrees F. for about 20 minutes, or until the bulb is soft. Don’t over cook or it will be too hard and bitter. When ready to use, just squeeze out the soft insides! Make extra to keep in the fridge for a few days. It is good in so many things!
- Rinse, drain and dry off the tofu, pressing on to a paper towel to absorb extra liquid.
- Blend all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. The mixture will be quite thick. It is a perfect texture for a spread! Season with additional salt and pepper, as desired. The flavour improves with a little chilling time. Enjoy!
