From Julia Child's Way To Cook - to be used as a garnish, or to be pureed and used in sauces or other purees. Ingredients:
1 head garlic (with large cloves) |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
1 pinch salt |
1 pinch fresh ground white pepper |
Directions:
1. Separate the garlic cloves from the head.
2. Take a smallish saucepan and heat to boiling about a cup of water; add the cloves of garlic and simmer for about 1 minute- drain, peel the garlic (which should be softish and should peel easily) and set aside.
3. Melt the butter in the saucepan; add back in the peeled garlic and sauté over low for 10 to 15 minutes, until they're a creamy yellow color and are very tender.
4. Add the cream to the saucepan, as well as the salt and a bit of freshly ground white pepper, and simmer over low for 5 to 10 minutes until garlic is meltingly tender .
5. Notes: These can be used in many recipes, such as mashed potatoes, in a creamy pasta sauce, over sautéed spinach, or just snack on them all by themselves!
