Roasted Garlic And Garlic Oil The Easy Way Food

ROASTED GARLIC OIL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• Place garlic in a deep casserole dish and cover with oil. Add extra if needed to cover all the garlic. don't use as much as called for if it won't all fit in your dish. This is not an exact recipe here. The main thing is that all the garlic is covered with oil.
• Cook in the oven until the garlic is soft and squishy.
• Remove from oven and let it cool a bit.
• Remove garlic from the oil and set aside. Let the garlic cool completely in the fridge before you cover it.
• Pour oil through a coffee filter and into a shallow pan and let it cool in the fridge before you bottle it.
• Keep refrigerated and use the oil soon.
• The garlic can be frozen if you want to hold on to it for awhile, but it will break down when it's thawed. I like to puree it into a smooth past and use it that way.
• BE ADVISED! SOME LOCAL HEATH DEPARTMENTS CLAIM THAT THERE IS A RISK WHEN MAKING HOMEMADE FLAVORED OILS.
• To help avoid any risk of illness I suggest that you treat this entire procedure like you are doing home canning. SANITIZE EVERYTHING THAT WILL COME IN CONTACT WITH FOOD!
• I can't stress this enough. Botulism is nothing to mess around with. I have never had a problem with my flavored oils. Always smell them before you use them. If there is any doubt about the quality, TOSS IT! You can't be too careful.
• Be careful and enjoy.

ROASTED GARLIC AND ROASTED GARLIC OIL

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the oil over low heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer (be careful not to let it boil), add the garlic cloves. Cook the garlic uncovered for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the cloves are easily mashed with a fork. Store the cooled oil and garlic cloves in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

ROASTED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Set up a grill for cooking with direct and indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• To a small saucepan over the indirect-heat side of the grill, add the garlic cloves and olive oil. Close the lid of the grill and gently simmer until the garlic cloves are roasted and soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and, using a fork, mash the cloves to form a coarse paste. Add the butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
• Lay the bread out on a sheet tray, cut-side up, and spoon all but 2 tablespoons of the garlic mixture over the bread. Add 1/2 cup grated Parmesan to each half. Place the sheet tray on the indirect-heat side of the grill, then close the lid and bake until crisp and the cheese has set, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, then put the 2 halves of the bread together on a piece of foil. Spoon or brush the remaining garlic butter over the top. Wrap in the foil, then place on the indirect-heat side of the grill. Close the grill and bake until golden brown and the garlic butter has soaked into the bread, another 3 to 5 minutes. To serve, open the foil, cut into smaller pieces and place on a board or platter.
