Total Time
1 hr 35 min
Ingredients
- 2½ cups Garlic Cloves, skins intact
- 2 cups Olive Oil
- ¼ cup Unsalted Butter, cut into bits
- 1× 2 oz can Anchovies
Instructions
- preheat oven to 275F
- put garlic cloves into a heavey glass or ceramic baking dish and pour the olive oil over the top
- sprinkle the butter over the garlic
- lay the anchovies in a single layer on top
- cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 1/2 hrs or until the garlic cloves are dense and limp-remove one clove to test; let it cool for a moment and then squeeze it gently between your fingers, the garlic should immediately burst onto your fingers, indicating that it is soft and spreadable--remove from the oven
Notes
- serve with sliced bread, crackers for spreading or raw veggies for dipping
- I like to serve this in either a dipper crock pot or a small fondue pot over a low flame to keep it warm, as it gets even better tasting (that is if it lasts that long)
- the garlic flavor is strong but sweet and the anchovy flavor is very mellow and a little of the spread goes a long way on a slice of bread
