Roasted Garlic in Their Skins

The food at Ulpotha is mostly organic and vegan, with eggs served as an option on a Friday evening. Here is a recipe for our most popular dishes from the Ulpotha Cookbook:

ROAST GARLIC IN THEIR SKINS 

If you are partial to garlic, you’ll be piling these on your plate. At Ulpotha, they deep-fry them, but I don’t have a deep fryer, and I like shutting the oven door and leaving them to do their thing. 

SERVES FOUR TO SIX AS AN ACCOMPANIMENT 

4 whole bulbs of garlic that break down into approximately twenty cloves, separated and kept in their skins 1 dessertspoon coconut oil 

Heat the oven to 200˚C. 

Place all the ingredients in a terracotta or ceramic dish on the middle shelf of the oven for approximately 25 minutes or until the garlic is soft and slightly caramelised. 

Serve in their skins, warm, with any Ulpotha dish.
