For the last 5,000 years, garlic has been the ultimate multifunctional ingredient. Food, medicine, aphrodisiac, currency, vampire vanquisher you name it, these pungent
bulbs have done it all. Available in a convenient 1kg tub, the timesaving Country Range Garlic Purée is wonderful in a wide array of soups, stews, pasta dishes, curries, casseroles, sauces, or simply to make quick garlic bread. One full teaspoon is the equivalent of three cloves of garlic.

Providing gorgeous garlicky punch to wraps, pizza, sharing plates or just great as a dip for vegetables, use mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic purée, basil or oregano, salt and pepper to make a creamy, herby and punchy garlic sauce.
