Roasted Garlic Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Remove papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut tops off of garlic bulbs. Brush with 1 teaspoon oil. Wrap each bulb in heavy-duty foil. Bake at 425° for 30-35 minutes or until softened. Cool for 10-15 minutes., Squeeze softened garlic into a blender. Add the vinegar, water, sugar, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, mustard, salt, pepper and remaining oil; cover and process until smooth. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• In an unoiled, small heavy skillet, roast the unpeeled garlic cloves on medium heat, turning them occasionally; cook the garlic for about 10-15 minutes, until it's soft and covered with dark spots.
• Test for doneness by pressing a clove with a spoon- if you see small bubbles of juice bursting through the skin, remove them from the skillet.
• When cool enough to handle, peel the cloves.
• In a blender or food processor, puree the garlic with the oil, vinegar, water, salt, pepper and mustard until smooth.
• covered and refrigerated, this dressing will keep for several weeks.

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette:
• Combine the garlic, vinegar, mustard, honey, lime juice and salt and pepper, to taste, in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified.
• For the salad:
• Place the frisee in a large bowl, add 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette, season with salt and pepper, to taste and toss to coat. Put the tomatoes in a bowl, add a few tablespoons of the dressing, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to coat.
• Divide the frisee among 4 to 6 large plates, arrange 3 of the tomato quarters around the perimeter of each plate. Garnish with shaved cheese and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette and serve.

Steps:

• In a small skillet, combine the garlic cloves and the oil. Over a low heat, caramelize the garlic until browned and soft, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer garlic cloves to a blender or food processor. Add the vinegar and mustard. Blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly pour in the reserved garlic oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and put in a large salad bowl. Pour the dressing over the lettuce and toss to coat. Sprinkle some grated cheese on top and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Wrap garlic in aluminum foil. Place garlic on rack in oven, and roast until very tender, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, and let cool in foil.
• Cut off tops of garlic heads with a serrated knife. Squeeze garlic pulp into a small saucepan. Place over medium-low heat, and whisk in vinegar. Rewhisk, if necessary, before serving. Finely chop rosemary, and add to saucepan. Slowly whisk in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and turn off heat; keep dressing warm until ready to use.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. I use my handy chopper.
• If the dressing is too thick, thin with more cream.
• To roast garlic - slice the top off a whole head of garlic. Place garlic on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil and salt. Wrap up and bake at 400 for about 40 minutes.
