Ingredients
Method
- Heat oven to 190°C/375°F. Slice the top from the garlic bulb, drizzle with 1 tsp oil, wrap in foil and roast for 35–40 minutes until soft.
- Warm beans with stock in a saucepan for 5 minutes. Squeeze roasted garlic from its skins and mash into beans.
- Stir in lemon juice, salt and remaining oil. Finish with parsley.
A little note
Serve as a soft side or spoon over grilled bread.
Cooking tips
- Roasted garlic should squeeze easily from its skins; firm cloves need more time in the oven.
- Mash beans while warm and use stock sparingly to keep the mixture thick enough to mound on a spoon.
