Barbed Wire



Roasted Garlic Butter

2 large heads of garlic
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened

Heat oven to 400F. Cut two squares of foil large enough to completely enclose garlic head. Place one garlic head in the center of each foil square. Drizzle each head with oil and sprinkle with salt. Wrap garlic heads in foil and seal so none of the oil can leak out. Place foil pouches on baking sheet and roast 35 to 40 minutes. When pouches are opened, garlic heads should be tender and the juices that escape will be deep golden brown. Squeeze roasted cloves out of their papery skins and into bowl. Mash and blend with butter. Shape butter into a log. Seal in plastic wrap (or press into butter forms) and chill. Butter can be stored in fridge 3 or 4 days, or in freezer for up to 3 weeks.
