Roasted Garlic Marinade Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Arrange heads of garlic on a baking sheet. Sprinkle garlic with olive oil. Bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour, when the garlic is soft and squeezable, it is ready. Remove, let cool, and serve.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the water, vinegar, oil, garlic, thyme, Italian-style seasoning, poultry seasoning, rosemary, salt and ground black pepper. Mix well and apply to your favorite meat.

Steps:

• In shallow glass dish or resealable plastic food-storage bag, mix all ingredients except beef. Add beef; turn to coat. Cover dish or seal bag. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight, turning beef occasionally.
• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove beef from marinade; reserve marinade.
• Cover and grill beef over medium heat 12 to 18 minutes, turning and brushing with marinade once or twice, until desired doneness. Discard any remaining marinade. To serve, cut beef across grain into slices.

Steps:

• Blanch the whole cloves of garlic in boiling water for 5 minutes; remove, and plunge into cold water. Drain and dry off the garlic.
• Mix the remaining ingredients (except the fresh oregano sprigs) in a blender until emulsified. If using dried oregano toss it in with the oil and vinegar.
• Put the cloves in a jar and cover with the marinade, tuck the sprigs of oregano into the jar. Cover and allow it to marinate for at least 5 days in the refrigerator. Serve as is for a snack or side dish or add to a green salad.
• Don't be surprised if a couple of people polish off the whole batch in one sitting! I had tried several other marinated garlic recipes before this one and was not happy with the results. This one is perfect!
• *NOTE: You can double the garlic cloves and will still have enough dressing to cover. The marinade makes a fantastic salad dressing after you use up the garlic.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using a serrated knife, slice off top quarter of garlic heads, exposing as many cloves as possible. Arrange garlic heads, cut side up, in an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish (make sure garlic heads sit flat).
• Season garlic with salt and pepper and sprinkle with thyme. Slowly pour oil over each head, letting it soak into and around cloves. Cover dish tightly with foil and roast until cloves are golden, completely soft, and begin to protrude slightly from skins, about 1 hour. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
• From the bottom up, squeeze each head to push out cloves (peel skins from any completely enclosed cloves). Transfer garlic and cooking oil to an airtight container. (Garlic will keep, refrigerated, up to 2 weeks.)

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a non-aluminum mixing bowl.
• Pour into a zip-lock bag.
• Add meat. When ready to cook, discard marinade.

Steps:

• Roast garlic at 350°F for 8 - 10 minutes or until just beginning to brown.
• Place in blender with chipotle peppers, soy sauce and pepper. Blend on high until pureed and smooth.
• With motor running, slowly add oil until smooth and well incorporated.
