Raymond blanc shares ‘sweet and spreadable’ roasted garlic recipe

Raymond Blanc often appears on television screens sharing delicious recipes and tips and tricks. One recipe, which is so versatile it can be used as a dip or a spread, is the chef’s tasty

roasted garlic recipe. Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees celsius. Next, place the garlic bulbs on a baking tray and drizzle with a little oil. Bake in the oven for 35 to 45

minutes, depending on the size of the bulbs. The bulbs must be soft to touch in order to be cooked properly. Another recipe which Raymond has also shared on his website is his tasty

delicious roast potatoes. He said: “Everyone has their own little tips and techniques for making the perfect roast potatoes, but my favourite is one that my British friends have been doing

for years. “Believe me, it will give you a crispy outside and a fluffy centre every time.” Ingredients include salt, good quality potatoes, goose fat, salt and pepper, herbs and garlic.

Start by preheating the oven to 200 degrees celsius before boiling hot water in a large pan with some salt. Add the cut up potatoes and bring to a gentle boil for five to six minutes before

draining them in a colander and allowing them to stand for two minutes. Shake the colander and put a tray in the oven with the oil to heat up. Once heated, place the potatoes on the hot tray

and sprinkle some salt and pepper onto them before baking for 40 minutes. Add the garlic during the last five minutes of cooking and add the thyme and rosemary when removed from the oven.
