Balsamic Roasted Garlic Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a non-aluminum mixing bowl. Pour into a zip-lock bag. Add the steaks and marinate for 4 to 5 hours in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Place the beef on the sheet pan. Combine the mustard, vinegar, and salt in a small bowl. Spread the mixture on the filet and brush it evenly over the top and sides. Sprinkle the cracked pepper evenly all over the meat.
• Roast the filet for 30 minutes exactly for medium-rare (25 minutes for rare and 35 minutes for medium). Remove the pan from the oven, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow the beef to rest on the pan for 10 minutes. Slice and serve hot or warm.
• Note: This recipe was doubled for this episode.

Steps:

• Dissolve steak seasoning in balsamic vinegar, then stir in olive oil. Place pork into a resealable plastic bag and pour marinade overtop. Squeeze out air and seal bag; marinate 2 hours to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place pork into a glass baking dish along with marinade. Bake in preheated oven, basting occasionally until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 hour. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
• Combine olive oil and garlic in a small bowl.
• Cut broccoli into florets with 2 to 3 inches of stem and spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour garlic oil over broccoli and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven, turning once, until broccoli is tender and charred at edges, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with vinegar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Spread garlic over a small baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, mix the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, water, and pepper together; spoon half of the vinegar mixture over the garlic; toss to coat.
• Bake for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the remaining vinegar, mix to coat, and bake for 10 minutes.
• Stir and return to oven for a final 10 minutes; the roasted garlic should be soft, with a burnished brown glaze finish.
• Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Bring to room temperature and stir before using.

Steps:

• Roast garlic at 350 degrees until soft, golden brown and fragrant - about 30 minutes.
• Peel cloves and mash coarsely in a mixing bowl.
• Add the vinegar and mustard, whisking to incorporate.
• Whisk in the olive oil.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Place unpeeled garlic cloves in baking dish. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Cover dish tightly with foil and bake until garlic is golden brown and tender, about 45 minutes. Cool.
• Squeeze garlic between fingertips to release cloves. Transfer garlic cloves to blender. Add vinegar and rosemary and puree herb mixture until smooth. With machine running, gradually add remaining 1 cup olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Dipping oil can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Let stand 15 minutes at room temperature and whisk before using.)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Mix potatoes, carrots, onion, balsamic vinegar, butter, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a large glass bowl. Spread mixture into the prepared pan in an even layer. Cover with foil.
• Roast in the preheated oven, giving the pan a shake every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking, for 45 minutes.
• Remove foil and continue to roast, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for another 30 minutes.

Steps:

• PREPARE:.
• Using a large baking pan with sides (I use a 9x13x2 inch), cover completely with tinfoil.
• Spray tinfoil with cooking spray at least twice (I like to step outside to do this) and set aside.
• Remove as much of the loose, paperthin covering from the bulbs that you can by hand. If it does not come off easily, don't take it off.
• Working on a cutting board, using a sharp heavy knife, cut through the tops of each bulb. Save the tops. Don't take bulbs apart.
• Place all the cut bulbs in the pan. They should be touching each other.
• Sprinkle the vinegar over the tops of garlic bulbs. If you have a small spray bottle that you can put the vinegar into, all the better.**.
• At this time, you can add some salt, lightly to the tops, if you wish (I don't).
• BAKING:.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees after you cut the bulb tops off.
• Cover the entire pan tightly with tinfoil.
• Place pan in middle half of hot oven.
• Lower heat to 350 degrees.
• Bake for 30 to forty-five minutes.
• Remove from oven in 30 minutes and test for doneness WITHOUT removing tinfoil. Using a thin sharp knife, stab once at garlic bulbs that are in center of pan. If knife goes in easily, remove tinfoil and return pan to oven for 15 minutes more for browning. If bulbs are not soft, bake another 15 minutes or until soft and then brown.
• Remove pan from oven and let cool on rack before trying to handle. The garlic can sit for up to three hours without it being affected poorly.
• REMOVAL AND STORING:.
• This is the messy part, no getting away from it. I have been known to wear thin rubber gloves (I save the kind that comes with hair dying kits) for this next part, but don't bother anymore. This is also why I make so much at a time.
• Over bowl, holding a bulb, cut side facing down, squeeze until bulbs pop out. If they are overcooked, it will be very mushy (this is how I like it). Get as much out as possible using free hand to help pull out.
• When all bulbs are done, check bowl for any skins that may have come off, and remove.
• Mash with a fork until very creamy and smooth. You can also put bulbs into a mini mixer until smooth. I don't because by the time I get all the garlic out, I'm finished by hand.
• You can store garlic in fridge for up to a month like this or freeze and keep until the next ice age. When freezing, you can divide in many ways; using half cups, using ice cube trays, or my way!
• Open a fresh gallon freezer storage bag.
• Spoon in the mashed garlic. Place on a flat surface and press garlc press down, til it fills the bag. If there is too much garlic, use two bags. After you have pressed the garlic throughout the bag, along with the air. Seal it. Place it flat in your freezer and when hard, put this bag inside another freezer bag and seal.
• Now, when you want to use the garlic, remove from the freezer at the time you are ready to use. Don't let it stand around waiting for you, as I have found that each time it defrosts and re-freezes, it loses some of its potency.
• Open bag and with the blunt end of a butter knife, cut the amount you want to use, slip the knife between the garlic and the bag and lift out. Return unused portion to freezer.
• * Garlic tops: Don't throw them away! Make some garlic broth, of course!
• ** I saved a spray margarine container for this.
