What do you serve with roasted garlic meze?
Roasted garlic meze goes well with warm flatbread, toast, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping. It also works alongside grilled vegetables and other small dishes, or as a flavorful spread in a sandwich.
Does roasting garlic make roasted garlic meze taste milder?

How long does roasted garlic meze last in the refrigerator?

Can roasted garlic meze be frozen?

What is Roasted Garlic Meze?
Roasted Garlic Meze is a Turkish-style mezze made by roasting garlic cloves until soft, then mashing them into a spread. Olive oil is a common addition, with lemon or herbs sometimes used to brighten the flavour. Roasting takes the sharp edge off the garlic and brings out a mellow, slightly sweet taste.
In Turkey, it belongs on a shared meze table, served with bread or alongside grilled vegetables and other small dishes. Its texture is soft and spreadable, and a little goes a long way. It provides mostly carbohydrates, with some fibre and protein. For a lighter version, use the oil sparingly and serve it with fresh vegetables as well as bread.
