Oven-Roasted Garlic - Feast Your Eyes

At first glance you might wonder if this is some sort of science project. But what it lacks in immediate familiarity, it makes up for in taste -- especially when you consider it's a simple combination of three of any cook's most important ingredients: garlic, olive oil and coarse salt.

For this head of perfectly roasted garlic, blogger The Brown Eyed Baker simply cut off enough of the bulb to expose the cloves, drizzled them with a tablespoon of olive oil and added a generous sprinkling of salt before covering it with aluminum foil and roasting the entire thing for 40 minutes at 375 degrees F.

Great for use in pasta and pizzas and slathered on bread, those who truly love garlic may have a hard time not eating this straight out of the oven. But whatever you do with those golden-brown cloves, don't forget to save the skins for broth!

Butternut squash soup to die for!

butternut squash and roasted garlic bisque

One of the best and most successful dishes I have ever made was Butternut Squash and Roasted Garlic Bisque, courtesy of Epicurious and Bon Appetit. It ripped me, and subsequently many others, out of the halls of squash dislike because rather than relying on the over-used habits of squash with sweetness, this soup revels in rich and savory flavors. To this day, it's the best squash soup I've ever had, and it's one that can be made with absolute ease.

Roasted eggplant dip for all occasions

roasted eggplant halves
When it comes to eggplant, my tastes are fairly simple. I like it salted, brushed with olive oil and grilled, or cut into rounds and broiled. However, once in a while, I want something a bit more sophisticated and showy from my eggplant. Over the weekend, I found myself confronted with two firm, fresh eggplants and so decided to make a dip. I split the eggplants in half, rubbed them with olive oil and roasted them on a parchment lined baking sheet (I also threw a foil-wrapped head of garlic in with them as well).

After half an hour, when the flesh put up no resistance to the tines of a fork, they were done. I let them sit until they were cool enough to handle and then I peeled them into the bowl of a food processor. The roasted garlic went in, along with salt, pepper and some lemon juice. I drizzled in some olive oil while the motor ran. After a minute it was done. It was wonderful just then, still warm and creamy. It's also delicious cold, straight out of the fridge with a tortilla chip. Because the garlic is roasted, the flavor is fairly mild, so it could even be something your kids might dig on. It would also make a good potluck contribution (with a bowl of cut up veggies or crackers) A more organized recipe is after the jump.

It's Garlic Day!

roasted garlicToday might not be the best day to kiss your significant other, but it might just be the day to eat Italian.

Today is Garlic Day, and that means we need some recipes for Roasted Garlic, from Simply Recipes, and Tortellini with Garlic Sage Butter Sauce, from Food & Wine. Or maybe some nice Lamb Chops with Garlic and Olive Oil, also from Food & Wine. And here's a recipe for Pickled Garlic from CD Kitchen.

Meanwhile, Cooks.com has several recipes for various pasta sauces with garlic.

Slashfood Ate (8): Winter soups, stews and braises

Eclectic Edibles roasted root vegetable stew
When it comes to these short, dark winter days, there's nothing better than putting a little effort into a dish and then have it spend the rest of the day filling your home with the delicious smells of cooking. The weekends are perfect for these long braises, soups and stews. Many of these dishes don't need a recipe and can be created by feel. However, for those of you who need a little inspiration, here are eight recipes that are perfect for this time of year.

1. The Minimalist makes Beef Bourguignon from chuck, reminding us all that the cheaper, tougher cuts of meat have the most flavor.
2. Food and Wine offers three recipes for winter stews. For those of you who don't actually have all day to let your dish cook, these recipes are for you, as they all should be ready in about an hour.
3. Florence Fabricant went to Greece last year and brought back with her a recipe for Slow-Cooked Beef with Cracked Wheat. It gets browned on the stove for flavor and does a long, slow braise in the oven.
4. Elise has a gorgeous looking recipe for Spicy Lamb Stew with Butternut Squash.
5. Want a rich, veggie-filled chicken stew? Try this one from Orangette, it sounds quite yummy!
6. I love white beans. And I really love roasted garlic. So I do believe that I will adore this Garlic Lovers White Bean Soup from the Farmgirl.
7. I still have a single pomegranate rolling around my kitchen, which may inspire me to try this Pomegranate and Spice-Braised Pork from the The Splendid Table (even though the recipes doesn't call for fresh pomegranate. I could always use it for garnish).
8. Eclectic Edibles invented this Roasted Root Vegetable Stew as a way to use up already-roasted veggies. However, roasting veggies is so easy that it would be a simple thing to do in the stew making process.

Tip of the Day

Butterscotch sauce is a rich and buttery treat that makes a great seasonal dessert topper in place of chocolate or whipped cream.
