Roasted Garlic

 

 

 

4 cloves garlic                                                

1/3 cup of water                                                  

¼ cup olive oil                                              

French or Italian bread                                         

 

Cut the top off of each garlic head so that each clove is exposed.  Place with cut side up in a small un-greased baking dish; pour water around garlic.  Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour or until garlic is very soft.  Cool for 5 minutes.  Slowly drizzle oil into the center and over each garlic head.  Remove soft garlic from skins; spread on bread or over cooked meats or vegetables.

 

For additional flavor, place a sprig of fresh thyme over the cut surface of the garlic before roasting.
