What I came up with were roasted garlic spreads. For the first I combined three heads of roasted garlic with some just-ripe Pinkerton avocados and extra virgin olive oil in the food processor until it was creamy smooth.
Next, I combined cashews with roasted garlic and peanut oil in the same manner. It's great on its own or with jam. Roasting sweetens the garlic making a great combination.
To roast the garlic just chop the tops off, peel most, but not all, of the skin layers away, put into a foil pouch and cover with high-heat olive oil. Then put the foil pouch into a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.
So simple. So good. Now, I need to grab some fresh black mission figs for these last few heads.
