Time 1h15m

Yield about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 heads garlic
Olive oil
2 cups fresh basil
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rub garlic heads with olive oil, and wrap with aluminum foil. Bake until garlic cloves are very tender when pierced with a knife, about 50 minutes. Allow heads to cool, then squeeze softened garlic from cloves into a bowl; there should be 1 cup.
  • Using a mortar and pestle (do not use a food processor), mash basil with 1/2 teaspoon salt until it is a paste. Add roasted garlic one tablespoon at a time, and mash until fully blended. Season with lemon juice, and add more salt if desired. Spread on grilled meats or fish, or use as a sandwich spread.
