Two whole heads of garlic may seem too much but, once cooked, the taste is sweet and mellow. Serve with crunchy bread sticks and potato crisps.

Ingredients

2 whole garlic heads
15ml/1 tbsp olive oil
60ml/4 tbsp mayonnaise
75ml/5 tbsp Greek-style yogurt
5ml/1 tsp wholegrain mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Serves: 4

Method

1. Slice the tops from the heads of garlic, using a sharp knife. Brush with olive oil and wrap in foil. Cook on a medium-hot barbecue or oven-grill for 25 minutes, turning occasionally.

2. When cool enough to handle, separate the garlic cloves and peel. Place on a chopping board and sprinkle with salt. Mash the garlic with a fork until puréed.

3. Place the garlic in a large bowl and stir in the mayonnaise, yogurt and wholegrain mustard. Mix well.

4. Check the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper to taste, then spoon the dip into a serving bowl. Cover and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
