Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 garlic bulbs -- 2 to 4

1 tablespoon water

 

Preheat oven to 375F. Remove some of the papery skin from the heads of garlic,

but be careful not to break the cloves apart. Cut off the top 1/2-inch of each

head.

 

Place the heads of garlic in a small, unoiled baking dish or on a sheet of

aluminum foil. Add a tablespoon of water and either cover the baking dish

tightly with foil or fold the sheet of aluminum foil to form a sealed package.

 

Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until cloves are very soft to the touch. Baking time

will vary depending upon the size of the heads of garlic.

 

Let cool. Squeeze the garlic paste from the heads as needed. Sealed and

refrigerated roasted garlic will keep for at least a week.

 

Two bulbs makes about 1/4 cup paste.
