ROASTED GARLIC WITH HERBS AND OLIVE OIL
This is a wonderful healthy, tasty spread or sauce depending on how much olive oil you use. You can even use it as a rub placing under the skin of a chicken or turkey. Fresh herbs are of your choice. Spread on bread or toss into pasta adding pasta water and additional olive oil to loosen. I use a mortar and pestle or Molcajete y Tejolote [mohl-kah-HEH-teh ee teh-hoh-LOH-teh in which the grinding process releases the oils, and flavor essence of the ingredients. When done carefully you will produce a product that is more flavorful than a product prepared in a food processor. If you just need to "get the job done", do it in a mini food processor.

Tips
1. **Choose high-quality garlic bulbs:** Look for firm, unblemished bulbs with tight cloves. Avoid any bulbs that are soft, moldy, or have sprouted cloves. 2. **Roast the garlic at a high temperature:** This will help to caramelize the cloves and bring out their natural sweetness. 3. **Use a variety of herbs and spices:** This will add flavor and complexity to the roasted garlic. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, paprika, and chili powder. 4. **Drizzle the roasted garlic with olive oil:** This will help to keep the cloves moist and prevent them from drying out. 5. **Roast the garlic until it is soft and golden brown:** This will take about 30-40 minutes. 6. **Let the roasted garlic cool before using:** This will make it easier to handle and prevent it from burning your mouth.Conclusion
Roasted garlic is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great way to add flavor to soups, stews, sauces, and pasta dishes. It can also be used as a spread for bread or crackers. Roasted garlic is a healthy and flavorful addition to any meal.
