Per the request of my curious Wine It. pals, here is an easy appetizer idea highlighting garlic. Its more of a technique than recipe, and once you see how easy it is, you'll want it all the time. It's a good accompaniment to a cheese plate as well. Perhaps these "wine people" can work to pair it with a delicious pre-dinner wine to share. Your house will smell better than any potpourri could make it. Above is a photo of my small garlic crop for this year...Can't wait to get my hands in this dirt come harvest time!
Oven Roasted Garlic
Olive oil
Aluminum foil
Artisan bread, such as ciabatta bread
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel away any excess papery skin. Slice the very top of the garlic head so the cloves are exposed. Place the garlic head in the center of a square of foil. Add in any clove pieces that were cut off. Pull the sides up to create a bundle. Drizzle the exposed garlic cloves with olive oil and the pinch the foil together to enclose completely. Place in oven and roast for 35 -40 minutes. Once the garlic is cool enough to touch but still warm, dig the soft cloves out with a knife and spread over fresh warmed artisan bread.
