Roasted Garlic

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (191&# 194;°C). Remove the papery outer covering of whole garlic head, but do not seperate the cloves or peel them. Place as many whole heads of garlic on a large square of heavy-duty aluminum foil as there are people to be served. Fold up foil so that the cloves are completely wrapped. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes. Serve each diner a head of garlic and some bread and butter. Separate cloves. Hold a clove over a piece of buttered bread and squeeze. The garlic puree will pop out, like toothpaste from a tube. Spread and eat. GARLIC PUREE: To make a batch of Garlic Puree for later use, let roasted heads of garlic cool, unwarapped for at least 5 minutes. Gently separate the cloves and squeeze each one over a fine meshed sieve, so that the softened garlic pops into the sieve. With wooden spatula or wooden spoon, rub garlic through the sieve into a small container or bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the puree if needed. QUICK PUREE: If you are in a hurry, you may skip the refinement of the sieve. Simply squeeze the cloves, one by one, over a bowl. When they have all been squeezed, use a rubber spatula to push the puree into a neat mound cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until needed. It will keep for months. To keep indefinitely, cover with a film of olive oil
