Use as a spread for buttered, toasted French bread.
4 large heads garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Chop off bottom of garlic head, and separate whole cloves, leaving tight outer covering intact. Place
cloves in a shallow 8−inch square baking dish, and drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20
minutes.
Cool and drain; remove skins. Roast garlic may be eaten as is or puréed for smoother texture.
To purée, position knife blade in food processor bowl; add garlic, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Process
30 seconds or until almost smooth, scraping sides of processor bowl occasionally.
