Roasted Garlic Puree Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Arrange heads of garlic on a baking sheet. Sprinkle garlic with olive oil. Bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour, when the garlic is soft and squeezable, it is ready. Remove, let cool, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix together canola and olive oil; set aside.
• Place garlic cloves in an ovenproof heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch-oven with a lid. Add bay leaf, a scant tablespoon salt, and peppercorns. Add enough of the oil mixture to barely cover.
• Cover pan and transfer to oven. Cook until garlic is pale golden and very tender, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic cloves to a cutting board or the bowl of a small food processor, reserving oil; finely chop or process until pureed. Transfer to a bowl and add just enough reserved oil to cover. Keep refrigerated, up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Set oen to 350 degrees.
• Chop off the bottom of garlic head, and separate into WHOLE cloves.
• Place the cloves (leaving the skin on) in a shallow 8-inch square baking dish.
• Drizzle with olive oil.
• Bake for 20 minutes; cool and drain oil.
• Remove the skins from the baked cloves (I just squeeze the cloves between my fingers, and the soft garlic just slides right out of the skin).
• To puree: add all ingredients in a processor and puree for about 30 seconds, or until smooth, scraping sides of processor bowl occasionally.
• Delicious.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice off the top each head of garlic to expose some of the cloves inside. Place the heads on a piece of foil. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in the foil. Roast until cloves are lightly browned and tender, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice off 3/4-inch from the pointy end of the garlic to expose a bit of each clove. Place garlic heads in center of a square of aluminum foil, cut side up. Sprinkle on a few drops of water, drizzle on the olive oil, and sprinkle on the salt and pepper. Pull corners of foil up to enclose and fold over to seal. Place package in oven and roast 50 to 60 minutes, until garlic cloves are soft and golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Squeeze out garlic pulp by squeezing head in half over a bowl. Spread on bread, use as base for dip or dressing.

Steps:

• preheat oven to 375*F.
• wrap garlic cloves in aluminum foil package and cook for 1 hour in oven.
• remove cloves from foil and peel.
• puree garlic in food processor, add olive oil and blend until incorporated.
• store garlic puree in glass jar with tight-fitting lid.
• refrigerate.
• use in preparation of sauces or with meats.

Steps:

• With a fork, mash garlic cloves in a medium bowl to form a smooth paste.

Steps:

• Bring 4 cups of water to boil in a medium saucepan.
• Remove from the heat, add the separated but unpeeled cloves of 4 heads of garlic, stir to submerge the cloves, cover and let sit until the garlic skins are softened and cool enough to handle, about 50 minutes.
• Strain the garlic, discarding the water, remove the skins and cut off the hard nub where the clove was attached to the head.
• Place the garlic, canola oil and EVOO in a medium saucepan; bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
• Reduce the heat to low and maintain a very gentle simmer (it may be necessary to slide the pan to the edge of the burner). Simmer until the cloves are golden and very soft when pressed with a fork, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes.
• Transfer the cooled garlic to a sieve to drain, reserving the oil. Transfer the garlic to a food processor and puree until smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally. Store the puree and the oil separately in the refrigerator.
• NOTE: makes 1/2 to 2/3 cup puree (depending on the size of the garlic) and 2 cups garlic-infused oil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Place garlic in small baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cover tightly with foil and roast until golden brown and fragrant, about 50 to 60 minutes. Uncover dish and cool garlic, then squeeze softened cloves into small bowl and set aside.
• In heavy stockpot over moderate heat, heat canola oil. Add celeriac and sauté, stirring frequently, until starting to soften, about 8 minutes. Add water just to cover, raise heat to high, cover, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to moderate and simmer until celeriac is easily pierced with fork, about 20-30 minutes. Drain celeriac, reserving liquid, and transfer to food processor. Add roasted garlic. Turn motor on, then slowly add butter, 1 piece at a time, pureéing until smooth. Pureé should appear slightly thinner than mashed potatoes. If too thick, add small amount reserved cooking liquid, 2 tablespoons at a time. If too thin, add additional butter, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Sprinkle remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper over pureé, then fold in celery. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut the top off the garlic bulb, exposing the tops of the garlic cloves. Put on a small square of foil, and rub with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Scrunch up the foil to seal in the bulb.
• Roast for 25-30 mins until soft when pressed, and the papery casing is light golden. Leave to cool for a few minutes before squeezing the soft roasted garlic out of their shells. Alternatively, take off all the papery casing and remove the cloves individually.

Steps:

• Remove outer covering on garlic. Do not peel or separate the cloves. Place each garlic head on a large square of heavy aluminum foil. Fold up the foil so the cloves are completely wrapped. Bake for 1 hour at 350°F Remove garlic from oven and cool for ten minutes. Separate cloves and squeeze cloves to remove cooked garlic. Discard skins.
• In food processor, mix garlic, cheeses, milk, and dill until smooth. Place in serving dish. Sprinkle with parsley.
• Serve in hollowed out red cabbage in basket surrounded by assorted vegetables for dipping.
• Note: This recipe is very versatile. The roasted garlic puree can be used on cooked vegetables, fish, steaks, salad greens and baked potatoes.

Steps:

• Place the garlic cloves in the bowl of a food processor. Process until chopped to desired size, rough or fine. Transfer pureed garlic to an airtight glass or plastic jar, and cover it with olive oil. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Toss the cauliflower florets and peeled garlic cloves in the olive oil until coated (I guess on the amount of olive oil, and probably use more than the specified amount).
• Sprinkle with salt to your taste. We use a creole salt or spice.
• Roast in oven at 375 degrees until the cauliflower is cooked and a fork pierces the stems easily. The timing will depend on how large you leave the cauliflower pieces, but it usually takes about 20 minutes. Don't let the cauliflower burn, but I think the slightly browned edges add character and flavor. The garlic should also be very soft by now.
• Put the roasted cauliflower with the garlic cloves into a food processor along with the butter (optional) and the sour cream. Pulse-puree until the mixture is smooth. Adjust seasonings as necessary and serve warm.
