Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  2. Peel off the loose, papery outer skins from each head of garlic, keeping the individual cloves intact within their head structure.
  3. Brush the top of each garlic head liberally with olive oil to help them roast evenly.
  4. Place the garlic heads in a small, shallow baking dish and roast for about 20 minutes, or until the outside is lightly browned and the innermost cloves are soft when pierced.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a bowl.
  6. In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted garlic cloves, 1/2 cup packed minced parsley, 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 ounces mashed silken tofu, 2-3 tablespoons white wine vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
  7. Process the mixture until completely smooth, adding water one tablespoon at a time if needed to achieve a slightly thick, pourable consistency.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or vinegar if desired.
  9. Transfer to a tightly sealed container. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature and reblend before serving if it has thickened.
