Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the garlic cloves (unpeeled) in a small baking dish and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir to coat the garlic evenly.
Roast the garlic in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and lightly golden. Allow them to cool slightly, then peel off the skins.
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the roasted garlic and mash gently with a fork until it forms a paste-like consistency.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and stir to combine.
Transfer the garlic mixture to a food processor. Add the cream cheese, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste the pate and adjust seasoning if needed. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a teaspoon of warm water or olive oil and blend again.
Spoon the Garlic Pate Pasta De Alho into a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with crusty bread, crackers, or as a topping for grilled vegetables or meat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
