Cook over low heat until the garlic is soft and golden brown. When the oil has cooled, strain it through a sieve and pour it into a tightly sealable container or bottle. Save the garlic, you will need it later. The oil will be needed later, but the remainder will be useful for other dishes.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77119e0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"77119e0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-687e263 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"687e263\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"665\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/labietis.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EdArAlu_Meteni_03.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6854\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/labietis.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EdArAlu_Meteni_03.webp 665w, https:\/\/labietis.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EdArAlu_Meteni_03-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/labietis.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EdArAlu_Meteni_03-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/labietis.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EdArAlu_Meteni_03-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/labietis.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EdArAlu_Meteni_03-100x100.webp 100w, https:\/\/labietis.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EdArAlu_Meteni_03-64x64.webp 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ebb76a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ebb76a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Bean and garlic spread<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Peel the onions and carrots and cut them into small pieces, also cut the chilli with all the seeds.

Allow the dough to brown on the skewer for 10 minutes and then bake over hot coals, but not over an open flame, otherwise the outside will burn and the inside will remain raw.Bake until the bread is dark brown and springy when squeezed, or break off a small piece and stretch.
