6 heads garlic

3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Preheat the oven to 4oo degrees. Cut the top quarter off each head of garlic. Place the heads on a piece of aluminum foil. Pour extra virgin olive oil over the garlic cloves, seal the aluminum foil and roast in the oven for an hour. Cool to room temperature, wrap in a plastic bag and refrigerate or freeze.

When ready to use, squeeze the individual cloves and they will pop out of the skins. Then spread on bread, pizza dough or mash and add the paste to sauces, dips, stews and soups.
