- 1/2 lemon wedge
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oven to 300.° Put ingredients into a 1-quart pot, making sure the garlic is submerged in olive oil. Cover the pot and bake until the garlic is golden brown and tender—about 1 hour. Let cool and remove the cloves from the oil. Save the oil for later. Puree the cloves of garlic in the food processor with some fresh thyme and parsley. Thin the puree a little with some of the garlic oil and add more fresh, chopped parsley and thyme.
Serve warm with fresh vegetables, such as baby carrots, endive leaves, radishes and asparagus spears. You can also serve it with lightly toasted sliced sourdough baguette.
