Roasted Garlic Paste

Roasted Garlic Paste

Roasted garlic paste is a wonderful ingredient to keep on hand in your
kitchen. Garlic paste makes a wonderful spread for bread or
sandwiches. Use it to add rich flavor to soups, pastas, vegetable
dips, or basted on meats. Simple to make, garlic paste will keep for
about a week in the fridge.
Ingredients:
1 pound garlic
1/2 cup olive oil
salt
pepper
Preparation:
Makes approximately 1 cup.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut off the top 1/3 of the garlic heads. Place the garlic heads (cut
side up) in a small baking dish. Pour the olive oil over the garlic.
Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil and bake for about 45
minutes. Remove lid or foil and bake for another 15 minutes. Cloves
will begin to brown. Remove dish from oven and let cool until you can
handle the garlic with your hands.
Into a medium bowl, squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins.
Using a strainer, add the oil from the baking dish to the garlic. Use
a food processor or mash together with a fork until the paste has a
smooth consistency. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Will last about 1
week.
