Remove the papery outer covering of whole garlic head, but do not seperate the cloves or peel them. Place as many whole heads of garlic on a large square of heavy-duty aluminum foil as there are people to be served. Fold up foil so that the cloves are completely wrapped. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes. Serve each diner a head of garlic and some bread and butter. Separate cloves. Hold a clove over a piece of buttered bread and squeeze. The garlic puree will pop out, like toothpaste from a tube. Spread and eat. GARLIC PUREE: To make a batch of Garlic Puree for later use, let roasted heads of garlic cool, unwarapped for at least 5 minutes. Gently separate the cloves and squeeze each one over a fine meshed sieve, so that the softened garlic pops into the sieve. With wooden spatula or wooden spoon, rub garlic through the sieve into a small container or bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the puree if needed. QUICK PUREE: If you are in a hurry, you may skip the refinement of the sieve. Simply squeeze the cloves, one by one, over a bowl. When they have all been squeezed, use a rubber spatula to push the puree into a neat mound cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until needed. It will keep for months. To keep indefinitely, cover with a film of olive oil. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Recipe Extracted from Meal-Master (tm) v6.30 ------------------ Title: ROASTED POTATOES WITH TOMATOES AND ROSEMARY Categories: Vegetables Servings: 6 6 ea Potatoes, pref. long narrow 6 ea Ripe plum tomatoes, sliced 1 ea Olive oil 1 T Minced fresh rosemary (t dry 1 ea Minced chives 1 ea Salt and pepper Preheat oven to 375F.

Add shortening, sour cream, vanilla, eggs, water and chocolate (melted then cooled). Beat with an electric mixer at low speed, scraping bowl constantly, for 1/2 minute. Increase speed to high and beat an additional 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter into 2 greased and waxed-paper lined 9-inch round cake pans. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. Oven for 35 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pans on racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on the racks. Place one cake layer on serving plate. Spread with Sour Cream / Chocolate Frosting. Top with second cake layer. Frost sides and top of the cake with the remaining Sour Cream/Chocolate Frosting. SOUR CREAM/CHOCOLATE FROSTING: Combine the softened butter or margarine, confectioners' sugar, and sour cream in a mixing bowl; blend well. Add chocolate which has been melted and cooled and vanilla. Beat until smooth. NOTE: I have seen reference to people having trouble with their layer cakes and how they rise. Try this little trick when making this cake. Take the layer that has the least amount of rise on the top and trim it to be flat with a sharp knife. Place the trimmed side down (layer should be upside down). Then frost between layers and place the other layer on right side up and finished frosting. It will give the illusion of having a cake with only one domed layer and will sit better on your cake plate. Also the trimmings are great eating just plain for the cook or for the kids. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Recipe Extracted from Meal-Master (tm) v6.30 ------------------ Title: Southwest Guacamole Categories: Dips Appetizers Servings: 6 5 ea Avocados; ripe, peel & pit 4 ea Cloves garlic;finely chopped 1 c Tomato; chopped, 1 medium 1/4 c Lime juice 1/2 t Salt Mash avocados in a medium bowl until slightly lumpy.
