Roasted Garlic & Pearl Onions With Herbs

"I've made anything from 1 bulb to a whole bag full at one time. When I make a bag full I squeeze all the garlic into a jar then cover with olive oil and refrigerate till I need it. Which is very soon! Use as a spread on bread, potatoes, roasts, Add to butter or olive oil. Put into dressings. Mashed potatoes just love them!!!In the picture is the roasted garlic and the Roasted Garlic Spread #92370 Check out this thread http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=226006 of different versions of roasting garlic."

  1. This is exactly the way that I make my roasted garlic. Sometimes when I'm feeling adventurous I even add some rosemary. Good stuff.
     
  2. Bought the garlic in bulk and loved the smell when we opened the foil up after baking. Squeezed out the cloves and used the garlicky paper skins in a chicken broth preparation with bones and vegies for added flavor.
     
  3. this is the way i always roast garlic-- i even have a small terra cotta garlic roaster, but the tin foil makes for easy clean up-- just shmear this on fresh bread, heavenly
     
  4. This is a taste of heaven in your mouth...
     
  5. I'm saving this so I can make it at another time. Sounds yumlicious.
