A classic beef stroganoff recipe served in a garlic bread cob loaf for a modern twist! Turn the extra bread pieces into mini garlic bread dippers to serve on the side too.
Garlic Cob Loaf
Ingredients
1 cob loaf (approx. 22-24cm base)
60 g (3 tablespoons) Western Star Spreadable Original, melted
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 teaspoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Method
Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan forced. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Use a serrated knife to slice about 3cm from the top of the cob. Scoop out the bread inside leaving a 1.5cm-thick shell. Place the scooped-out bread pieces in a bowl. Cut the cob lid into 4 pieces and add to the bowl
Combine the melted Spreadable, garlic and parsley in a bowl. Drizzle over the bread pieces, toss to ensure they are evenly coated. Brush the inside and top cut edge of the cob with the remaining garlic spread
Add the bread pieces to the prepared baking tray, leaving room for the cob. Bake for 20 minutes, adding the cob for the final 10 minutes
While the cob is baking, make the beef stroganoff
