Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 whole garlic bulbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Apple or oak bisquettes

Method

  1. 1

    Slice the tops off the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves and lightly brush the cut faces with oil.

  2. 2

    Smoke in the Bradley at 110°C (225°F) over apple until the cloves are soft, golden and squeezable — about 1½–.

  3. 3

    Cool, then squeeze the soft cloves out of their skins.

  4. 4

    Mash into a paste, or store the cloves submerged in oil in the fridge.

Notes

  • Stir smoked garlic into mayo, butter, BBQ sauce or mashed potato.
  • For a stronger smoke and longer shelf life, cold smoke peeled cloves instead.
  • Use the oil-stored cloves within a week and keep refrigerated.
