INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 275.
2. Peel loose paper off garlic heads, leaving the cloves intact in casing.
Cut 1/4" off the top of each head of garlic (not the root end).
3. Place in oven proof pan just large enough to hold garlic, with cut side
up.
4. Pour olive oil, butter and water over the garlic. Sprinkle with choice
of herbs, fresh or dried.
5. Cover pan tightly with foil.
6. Bake for two hours or until garlic is very soft and spreadable. Take
garlic heads and squeeze out buttery-like spread and discard casings.
7. Serve warm, spread on baguettes and topped with thin slices of
Montrachet. Garnish with tiny olives if you wish.
NOTES : Rooby's note: Although recipe indicates that this is served
already on the baguettes, when we've eaten there the heads of garlic were
served intact and diners spread their own pieces of baguette. Absolutely
wonderful...but make sure your significant other eats it too, or you'll be
on the couch! Recipe from Adriatica Cucina Mediterranea, 1107 Dexter Avenue
