Garlic Roasted Puree

Ingredients

• 4 heads garlic
• whole
• 1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
• 14 teaspoon salt
• 14 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 or 325 for a glass pan.
2. Slice bottoms off heads of garlic to loosen cloves.
3. Leave skins intact.
4. Place in shallow bake-ware pan.
5. NOTE: I have arthritis and slicing the bottoms off can be difficult so I slice straight across the middle and put both halves in the pan, sliced side down.
6. Drizzle with olive oil.
7. Bake for 20 minutes (I do 30 minutes for a milder flavor).
8. Cool.
9. Slip off skins and place in garlic in the food processor (or use a stick blender).
10. Add salt, pepper and lemon juice.
11. Process until smooth.
12. Spread this mild puree on toast French bread, baked potatoes or grilled chicken.
