Yield 1 cup garlic paste

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb garlic head
1/2 cup olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Remove any loose papery skins from the outside of the garlic heads; cut off the top 1/3 of the heads to open the cloves; set aside for another use; place the heads in a small baking dish, cut sides up; pour olive oil over them and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Cover the dish tightly and bake until 3/4 done, about 45 minutes; uncover and continue to bake another 15 minutes or until the cloves begin to pop out of their skins and brown; cool.
  • Squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a bowl; add the oil from the baking dish and mix well, forming a paste.
  • Store, refrigerated, up to one week.
