garlic mash

this garlic mash is useful when u want to infuse a smooth sauce with garlic flavor without compromising the texture. great as rubs on meat and poultry as well.

get a few bulbs of garlic. peel away the outer layers of skin (except the immediate layer of skin surrounding each individual clove) and leave the cloves intact to the bulb. using a knife, cut off the top of the bulbs so that each clove has it's top end removed. place the garlic bulbs on a tray and bake in preheated oven at 350-400F for abt 30 minutes. remove from the oven, let cool, and then squeeze the garlic (each individual clove) out of its jacket into an airtight jar. store in the refrigerator up to 3 months, possibly more.
