Baby Garlic

Is there anything more delicious than roasted baby garlic? Our bunches of baby garlic are perfect for roasting & can be used in so many ways.

Trim the stalks of four or five bulbs, peel away the outer layers & using a knife cut off the top of the bulb exposing the individual cloves.

Then pop them into an oven dish with a good splash or two a good quality olive oil.

Roast for 25 - 35 minutes at about 160 degrees, until they are soft to touch.

When cooled squeeze out the garlic from it's skin into a separate bowl. It comes out quite easily, this bit can be a bit messy but fun! While garlic is traditionally known as having a big & bold taste you will find that roasting it produces a more subtle, slightly nutty & buttery flavour. Here are a few things you can do with your roasted garlic:

• spread onto sour dough toast, eat on it's own or add anything you like. Cherry tomatoes & spinach, olives, caramelised onion & buffalo mozzarella, rocket & feta, bacon & parsley
  
• turn it into aioli. You can cheat and use bought good quality mayonnaise or make your own using organic eggs & local olive oil
  
• buy some potatoes from a road side stall, bake them and while still hot slice in the centre and add butter & a big spoonful of roasted garlic, yum!

Stocks Running Low!

Since we went online with our biodynamic garlic we have been thrilled with the response and have been overwhelmed with orders. Thanks so much for supporting us - our regular buyers as well as many new customers. It's great to see that people are really looking for an alternative and are buying locally grown, chemical free garlic that is not generally available in supermarkets. This gives us a great thrill at The Organic Paddock as we are passionate about sharing the benefits of this truly amazing & versatile bulb and love to see people buying Australian produce & gaining the health & flavour benefits of garlic.

Now that we are officially in Autumn it won't be long before it's garlic planting season again & our stocks of garlic are running low. We still have a small range to offer so be quick and snap up what we have left. You may see an increase in the price of garlic in shops soon as the supply starts to dwindle but we are keeping our prices at the same level.

For Melbourne purchasers please contact us regarding delivery if you are in the metro area as we may be able to organise to drop your garlic to you so save postage costs.

We love to hear feedback about our range so please drop us a line or leave a comment.
