Bulk Roasted Garlic with Ghee
Easy to make, with many ways to use it, this slow cooking method turns bitter and spicy garlic into an easily spreadable, jammy and sweet morsel of deliciousness.
Ingredients
- 1 pound peeled garlic
- ½ cup ghee also known as clarified butter
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt optional
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°.
- Add peeled garlic to a ceramic dish, such as a casserole dish. Mix in slightly warmed ghee and toss garlic until is fully coated.
- Cover tightly with two sheets of aluminum foil and cook for one hour.
- After an hour, check the color. The garlic should be golden brown, with dark brown edges starting to form, and very soft.
- If after an hour it needs more time, continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes, checking doneness every ten minutes.
Notes
The garlic cloves should be dark golden brown and very soft. Test the doneness by gently pushing down on an individual clove. If it squishes flat easily, the garlic is done.
If the garlic cloves are of various sizes, some will cook faster than others. Do not let the smaller pieces burn. It will taint the entire batch.
