Steps:
- In an ungreased skillet over medium heat, dry roast the unpeeled garlic cloves for about 15 minutes; turn them frequently until softened (they'll develop dark spots but should not burn).
- Alternatively, use oven roasted garlic leftover from another meal.
- Remove cloves from the skillet and allow to cool.
- When cool, peel off the skins from the roasted garlic and place garlic into a bowl.
- In a large pot, bring about 6 cups of salted water to the boil and boil the soybeans for about 5 minutes, until tender but still bright green.
- Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water in a small bowl before draining the soybeans.
- Allow the soybeans to cool to room temp.
- In a blender, combine to cooled soybeans with the garlic, salt and spices and pulse the blender to combine Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the reserved cooking water until a smooth purée forms.
- Add the oil, lime juice and cilantro.
- Pulse to combine.
- Spoon into a serving dish and garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Cut the garlic head in half along the"equator" (with root and stem ends representing the poles).
- Place the garlic, cut side down on a foil lined baking sheet and roast uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until tender.
- (or use your favorite roasting instructions) To remove the garlic, turn heads upside down and gently squeeze the garlic out of the skins.
- Reduce oven temp to 350.
- With a food processor or electric mixer, blend cream cheese, Asiago cheese, heavy cream, sour cream and parsley until well-blended add garlic and blend again.
- Place mixture into a casserole or baking dish and top with shredded mozzarella.
- Bake about 20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top.
- Serve with firm crusty bread, crackers or other dippers of your choice.
- I have added artichoke hearts to the dip for a nice change.
- Update: I have been replacing the heavy cream with sour cream (I have been using a total of 1 cup) and it comes out fine.

ROASTED GARLIC BEAN DIP
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the top off the head of garlic, exposing the cloves. Place on a sheet of foil, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap up the garlic tightly and roast until soft, 20 to 30 minutes; let cool slightly. Squeeze out the roasted garlic.
- Meanwhile, drizzle a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the carrots and rutabagas, season with salt and pepper and toss. Roast until the veggies are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Combine the beans, lemon zest and juice, thyme, roasted garlic and the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a food processor or blender. Pulse until nice and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. If the dip is too thick, blend in some of the liquid from the beans (or use low-sodium vegetable broth). Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with the roasted vegetable sticks and pita chips.
