Garlic Bread Baguette

Garlic bread on the BBQ is great way to use up what’s left of a French baguette at the end of the day and if you really want to go to town then try slapping on some of my barbecue Camembert for a real treat.

If you already guessed, this recipe originates from my many trips to Le Mans, France, so it’s tried and tested and always forms part of the weekends menu. The ingredients couldn’t be simpler so let’s get cracking.

Ingredients:-

• 1 French baguette or whatever you’ve got left over
• 125g or 5oz butter
• 2 cloves garlic
• Aluminium foil

Method:-

In a heat proof pot, warm the butter gently so that it is soft and take care not to melt it.

TIP - Soften half the butter first then if you do accidentally melt it (as I do regularly!) you can use the heat in the melted butter to soften the other half of the butter away from any other heat.

Peel the garlic, finely chop it and mix it into the butter. Slice the bread at half inch intervals taking care to leave each slice attached to the next at the bottom and then paste the garlic butter mix into your incisions.

Wrap the whole thing in foil and toast gently over medium heat for about 15 – 20 minutes turning regularly and you’ll have crisp on the outside and a wonderful garlic aroma on the inside.
