Roasted Corn With Garlic And Olive Oil Food

OVEN-ROASTED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• In a small mixing bowl, cream together the butter, garlic, salt and pepper. Spread the butter mixture over each corn.
• Wrap each corn in aluminum foil and place on a large half sheet baking pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, turning the corn over halfway.
• Take out the corn and open the foil on top to expose it. Turn on the broiler function on the oven and place corn back in. Broil on high for 2-3 minutes.
• Serve with a piece of butter on top. Sprinkle more salt and pepper as desired.

ROASTED CORN WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• 1. Turn oven to 425 degrees and let preheat. Prepare your corn ears and clean them up. Get out a cookie sheet and your foil.
• 2. Mix together olive oil, garlic, and butter if you wish, in a bowl. Add in pepper, as much as you like.
• 3. Set an ear of corn on a piece of foil on the cookie sheet. Rub the corn with the mixture and roll corn around to get it well coated. Wrap up in foil.
• 4. When all corn is wrapped up, stick it in the oven for at least 15 mins. If you like it a little more roasted, go for 20 mins. I always do 15 and it comes out great.

BAKED GARLIC CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Add oil and garlic to a 13x9 inch glass baking dish, bake until oil starts to sizzle and remove.
• Add corn, season with salt and pepper and turn to coat.
• Cover tightly with foil, bake 25-30 minutes turning once.

ROASTED GARLIC POLENTA

Steps:

• In a heavy bottom pot, bring 5 cups of water and sea salt to a boil. Mix together the remaining 3 1/2 cups of water and corn grits in a bowl. When the pot of water comes to a boil, add the cornmeal mixture and stir quickly and continuously until the entire mixture is well blended. Add the roasted garlic paste. Reduce the heat so that the polenta is at a low simmer, stirring frequently. Continue to do so until the polenta pulls away from the pot (about 35 minutes). Pour the polenta into a baking sheet to cool. Cut into desired shape (squares for the Napoleon) and pan fry in olive oil until golden in color.
• To build the Polenta Napoleon:
• Place a bed of smoky greens on the plate and top with a polenta square. Top the square with a ladle of rosemary-scented white beans. Top the beans with another polenta square. Decorate the plate with roasted carrot sauce.

OVEN-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC, OLIVE OIL AND LEMON JUICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Place the cauliflower florets in a large saute pan or a roasting pan. Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower, and season with the garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Place the saute/roasting pan in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even roasting. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately while still warm.

• Drain pasta & stir in the oil.
• Add the water if you think the mixture is too dry.

• Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.
• Topping: In a shallow pan, heat oil.

MIDNIGHT PASTA WITH ROASTED GARLIC, OLIVE OIL AND CHILE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut off the top 1/4 inch of the head of garlic to expose the top of the cloves, then place on a piece of foil, cut-side up. Sprinkle exposed cloves with salt, then drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil. Wrap the garlic in the foil and roast until soft and golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes.
• When you're ready to make the pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Finely chop the parsley leaves. Add pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
• While the pasta cooks, in a large Dutch oven or skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 cup oil over medium heat. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the oil and cook, breaking them up with your spoon, until very fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the red-pepper flakes and a few generous grinds of pepper. Remove the pan from the heat to infuse the oil while the pasta finishes cooking.
• When the pasta's done, heat the garlic oil over medium, then add the cooked pasta, 1/2 cup reserved pasta water and the parsley, and simmer, tossing constantly and adding more pasta water as needed, until the pasta is glossed with sauce.
• Serve with more red-pepper flakes, black pepper and Parmesan.
