Braised Garlic

Base recipe - to be used as ingredient in other recipes on this blog, or get creative on your own! Braised garlic is great blended into soups, pasta sauces and dips...

4 heads garlic

1 cup veggie or mushroom stock

2 tsp herbs - rosemary and/or thyme is nice

With a large, sharp knife, slice off the tops of the garlic bulbs - taking off about 1/4", or enough to skim off the tips of each clove. Place the bulbs in a baking dish, and add stock and herbs. Cover dish loosely with foil, and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour, a little more if needed (slice into a clove to check, knife should slide in easily). Remove from oven, and when cool, squeeze the garlivc out of each clove into a clean container. Can be stored in fridge for up to a week.
