Baked Garlic for Two
Adapted from Garlic, Wine and Olive Oil: Historical Anecdotes and Recipes by
Thomas Pellechia
2 large garlic bulbs
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons water
garlic baking clay (or other stone/clay baking device)
crispy bread
2 tablespoon sweet basil
Preheat oven to 350 F. With a sharp knife cut each garlic bulb, horizontally,
so that you clip off about half an inch from the top (you are making a pot
cover out of the top of the bulb). Drizzle water into the openings of each
clove, followed by a drizzle of olive oil into each clove. Put the tops back
on the bulbs and place the bulbs into their baking clay and then put them into
the oven for forty-five minutes.
To eat the baked garlic, take the top off, pop the cloves out of their skins
and spread them on crispy bread; sprinkle with basil. When baked, garlic
takes on a combination sweet, nutty quality.
