Yield Makes 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 heads garlic, unpeeled, top 1/3 inch cut off
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 strips (each 2 1/2 inches long) lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 cups Five-Ingredient Barbecue Sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Top garlic with oil, zest, thyme, salt, and pepper, and wrap in parchment-lined foil. Bake until garlic is golden and soft, 1 1/2 hours. Unwrap, and let cool for 10 minutes. Squeeze garlic from peels, and puree with zest, thyme, and lemon juice in a food processor.
