Swiss Star


I love my weekly veg box – I really do. I have access to lovely produce at a store that’s half a mile away. I admire the jackfruit, Buddha’s hands, cherimoya and purple broccoli. Then I grab the same old fruit and veg I always get. My veg box forces me to be a little more adventurous. Last week, along with curly leaf lettuce, beets, mango, cucumber and spinach came six heads of garlic. Six. Heads. What can you do with six big garlic heads? I could only think of one thing. I peeled off all but one layer of the papery skin and sliced the top 1/3 off of each head. I laid the six heads on a single sheet of foil, drizzled them with olive oil and sealed them into a foil packet. The packet sat on high in my slow cooker on high for nearly four hours. Then we opened it and spread roasted garlic on crostini. Yum!
