ROASTED GARLIC OIL


smell heavenly when it's cooking. :))

1 head garlic, peeled
1/2 cup olive oil

Place garlic and olive oil in small pot on the stove and bring to a simmer
Reduce heat to low and allow oil to cook until garlic begins to turn golden brown, about 10-20 minutes
Watch carefully to make sure it doesn't burn
Serve both oil and cloves over your favorite foods.
Once they have cooled, pour the oil and cloves into a suitable container, and store what you won't use immediately in the refrigerator to keep the oil and roasted cloves from spoiling. When using only the oil replace with enough to keep the cloves covered. Will last 2 weeks in your refrigerator... if it last that long.

*I use rosemary on my garlic, I leave the herb option to your taste. Try thyme, oregano, or a mix. Yummy!!! :))
*Roasted garlic are amazing in mashed potatoes, crusty breads.... there are endless possibility
*Garlic oil is amazing in homemade salad dressing, oven roasted vegetables, sautéing vegetables... the oil can add flavors to many dishes.
