  • Cut the top off the head of garlic so the tips of the cloves are exposed. Place it in the center of a piece of tinfoil (shiny side in) and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Massage the oil into the garlic and then form the tinfoil around the garlic head tightly, like a little packet. Place on a small baking tray and bake until soft and fork-tender, about 40-45 minutes.

  • While the garlic roasts, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower, cover, and cook until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain well and place into a high-powered blender.
  • Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil in a small pan over medium heat and cook the onion until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Place into the blender with the cauliflower.

Tips & Notes:

* The amount of garlic you uses depends on the size of your cloves, and an on how much garlic flavour you like. We like a lot of garlic and I used 4 very large cloves, and we found it perfect. Add a few at a time, taste and adjust to your liking.
