Roasted Garlic With Herbs and Olive Oil image

This is a wonderful healthy, tasty spread or sauce depending on how much olive oil you use. You can even use it as a rub placing under the skin of a chicken or turkey. Fresh herbs are of your choice. Spread on bread or toss into pasta adding pasta water and additional olive oil to loosen. I use a mortar and pestle or Molcajete y Tejolote [mohl-kah-HEH-teh ee teh-hoh-LOH-teh in which the grinding process releases the oils, and flavor essence of the ingredients. When done carefully you will produce a product that is more flavorful than a product prepared in a food processor. If you just need to "get the job done", do it in a mini food processor.

I'm a big fan of roasted garlic, and this recipe did not disappoint. The garlic was perfectly roasted, with a lovely golden brown color. I used it to make a roasted garlic hummus, which was a hit at my last party.
