|
Method:
Soak domed lid in water for 10 minutes. Remove some of the papery outer skins from garlic.
Slice off the tops of the bulbs so each clove is exposed. Trim base so garlic heads can sit flat in
base of baker. Drizzle olive oil over garlic bulbs. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and oregano. Cover
with the domed lid and place in cold oven. Set temperature at 325° and bake for 45 minutes or
until garlic is tender and husks are golden brown. Baste occasionally with olive oil. Serves 2 to 4.
Press with a fork and spread on hot, crusty french bread. Dip in olive oil seasoned with Italian
spices. Each clove can also be pressed out and served as a side dish. Add baked garlic to pasta
sauces, salads or pizza toppings.
