Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 3 heads garlic
- 1 teaspoon olive oil extra virgin
- ¼ teaspoon coarse sea salt
- Pinch black pepper
- 3-4 sprigs Fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375
- Slice off about ¼” from the ends of the garlic heads (not the root end) to expose inner cloves.
- Place in small baking dish, drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle with coarse sea salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Turn garlic heads upside down, add fresh herbs to the pan and tightly cover with a piece of foil.
- Place covered dish in the hot oven and roast for 45 minutes. A bit longer if your heads and cloves are on the larger side.
- Carefully remove foil and wait until garlic heads are cool enough to handle. Gently squeeze garlic pulp out of skins (or use a toothpick or tines of a fork to “pull” the pulp out) to use in recipe, OR squeeze the entire head over a small dish until all the pureed garlic has come out. You can also leave whole heads intact and plate to serve with small spreader.
- Store whole heads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a week or put the garlic puree in ice cube molds and freeze. Transfer frozen garlic cubes to a freezer safe container. Frozen garlic will stay good in an airtight container for 3 months.
Notes
FRESH HERBS: Fresh sprigs of rosemary, oregano or thyme will work well. Use whatever you have and if you don't have any fresh herbs, use ½ teaspoon each, dried rosemary, dried oregano and dried thyme, or 1 ½ teaspoons dried Italian seasoning.
