The Goods (Recipe) - Roasted Garlic Spread

Roasted garlic spread adds an unparalleled level of garlic flavor to your pantry.  Use it as a topping for steak, hamburgers, broccolette (broccolini), spinach, or a variety of other meats and vegetables.  I have been known to eat a spoonful of the raw spread for good measure on occasion. 

5 Heads of Garlic
1/4 c. Olive Oil plus 1 tbls.
Salt
Pepper






(1) Turn oven to 400 degrees F.

(2) Slice garlic heads in half - through each clove - and place in a line on aluminum foil.  Sprinkle with salt and 1 tbls. olive oil.  Close foil around garlic and crimp to keep all moisture inside the foil pack.  Bake for 40 minutes.  Remove from oven and allow to cool to touch.

(3) Once the garlic has cooled to touch, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of the skin and into a bowl.  Add the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper and mash with a fork.
