A vegetable roasted in the oven until completely tender (beets or heads of garlic wrapped in foil, cherry tomatoes in an open pan), then peeled or squeezed out and blended or mashed with olive oil, lemon and spices.
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
