Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Preheat Your Oven To 400
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C.)
2. Prepare the garlic
Cut off the very top of the garlic head to expose the cloves. Place it on a small piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap tightly. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the cloves are very soft and golden brown. Once cooled slightly, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins.

4. Mash the cauliflower
Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a large bowl. Add the roasted garlic cloves, butter, heavy cream (or milk), remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
5. Mash until smooth
Using a potato masher, immersion blender, or food processor, mash the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For an extra smooth mash, use an immersion blender or food processor.
6. Season and serve

Tuscan Sun-Kissed Garlic Toast (Fettunta)
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Toast the bread
Grill, toast, or pan-fry the slices of rustic Italian bread until golden brown and slightly crispy on both sides. You can do this on a grill pan, in a toaster, or under the broiler.

Generously drizzle a good quality extra virgin olive oil over the garlic-rubbed side of each toast. Don’t be shy; the olive oil is a key component.
4. Season and serve

Skordalia with Toasted Pita Points

If using bread, soak the day-old bread in water for a few minutes until soft. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible. If using potatoes, boil them until very tender, then peel and mash.

In a food processor or a mortar and pestle, combine the roughly chopped garlic cloves with the squeezed bread or mashed potatoes. Add a pinch of salt.
