• Rub head and inside of oven proof dish (a ramekin, custard dish will work) with butter or olive oil.
• Put water/stock in bottom of dish.
• Cover dish with foil and place in preheated oven for 45 minutes.
• After the 45 minutes are up, uncover the dish and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
• Remove garlic and dish from oven and allow to cool.
• After cooled, remove cloves and squeeze the roasted garlic from the cloves into a dish or container.
• The roasted garlic should be a light yellowy-brown and very soft and sticky.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion. Cook, stirring, for 6 minutes or until onion has softened.
• Add anchovies and rosemary. Stir to combine, then cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes or until onion and garlic are very soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato paste and 4 cups water. Cover and cook until the beans are tender, 6 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
• Stir in the kale, cover and let simmer until just wilted, about 10 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan. Serve with toasted baguette, if desired.

As soon as they are cool enough to handle, rub one side of the toasts with the cut side of the garlic. Serve at room temperature.
