Roasted Garlic Aoli

Posted by Administrator on March 19, 2012 in Dessert, other

    1 Large head garlic (about 10 cloves peeled)
    1 cup Stella Cadente Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 teaspoon salt

In a small covered roasting pan, toss all but one garlic clove with 1 tsp. olive oil & 1 tablespoon water. Cover and roast in a 350 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the garlic is golden and soft.

Mince the remaining clove of raw garlic and place in a food processor with the roasted garlic. Process until it is a smooth paste, adding in the lemon juice to help smooth it out. With the processor on, drizzle in the Stella Cadente Olive Oil in a steady & thin stream. Add salt to taste.

This is a delicious condiment in place of mayo on sandwiches, as dip for steamed artichoke leaves, roasted veggies, or an accompaniment to roasted meats.
