Ingredient: Roast Garlic Spread

Recorded June 28, 2010. Yields a sweet, richly savory product useful for spreads, sauces, marinades, and the like. 
2 heads of garlic
2 t olive oil, divided
1/4 t kosher salt
Remove loose paper from garlic heads. Place each on a small square of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Drizzle with a teaspoon of oil. Bring up foil from the sides and close tightly around the top.  Place directly on the rack of a toaster-oven preheated to 425 degrees F (218 C). Roast for 15 minutes, turn off heat but let the garlic remain in oven until they cool. Unwrap the roasted heads and separate into cloves. Squeeze each clove out the bottom of the skin by into the bowl of a mortar and pestle. Grind with the remaining oil until smooth and spreadable. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator. Uses: spread for grilled cheese sandwiches, add deep flavor to sauces, soups, gravies, roasts, crostini and bruschetta.
