Roasted Garlic
When I need roasted garlic for a recipe, I always roast more than I need so I will have some ready for other uses throughout the week. It's heavenly in so many ways! - as a spread on bread - blended into softened butter - tossed into pasta - as a topping for grilled steak or fish - stirred into soups - as a dip flavoring - added to mashed potatoes - pizza topping - in a marinade - as a topping for sautéed vegetables - some people eat it with a spoon It can be kept in an airtight container for 3-5 days. Just separate the cloves out of the head and wrap tightly to minimize drying out. If you wish, you can freeze it as chunks removed from the peels or mashed. Spread the chunks in a freezer bag and freeze flat, for easy removal when you want to use some. Or you can freeze mashed roasted garlic in an ice cube tray. Keeps up to 3 months in the freezer.
