Roasted Garlic

Roasted garlic is the hot new ingredient in packaged mixes and well as restaurant menus. It adds a mild garlic flavor without being overpowering. And it's easy to make at home, even without one of the clay garlic roasters that you'll see advertised.

1 Whole Garlic Pod
1 T Olive Oil

Hold pod of garlic on the side, take a sharp knife and cut the pod about 1/4 inch from the top all the way across, exposing the raw garlic cloves. Place on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Pour and rub in olive oil in to the top of the garlic. Bake in a 325-degree oven for about 45 minutes to an hour or until garlic is soft, remove and let cool. Separate each garlic clove from pod and pinch at the stem end to remove the garlic paste. Cover and refrigerate.
