garlic

Roasted garlic can bring out great flavors in all kinds of dishes. Roasting causes the sharp flavors of the garlic to mellow and sweeten. To roast garlic, trim the ends off of the garlic cloves. Create a pouch of aluminum foil, two sheets thick. Add the garlic and 1 tsp. of olive oil, plus a pinch of coarse salt. Seal the pouch tightly and bake at 375°F for 30-40 minutes. Add roasted garlic to sauces, pasta, poultry, ice cream, breakfast cereal, bottled water, facial cleansers and motor oil!
