Ingredients:
2 large heads of garlic
Olive oil, for drizzling
¼ teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
¼ cup red wine or balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 ½ teaspoons honey
½ cup olive oil or leftover tuna poaching oil
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Method:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut about 1/2-inch off the top of the garlic heads. Place on a sheet of foil and drizzle with a bit of olive oil and season with salt. Wrap the foil into an "envelope" and place on a baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and cook until soft, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool and then peel.
Combine the garlic, vinegar, parsley and honey in a blender and puree until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil in a steady stream until emulsified. Season with the ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Alternately, combine the ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl and whisk until emulsified.
Yield: ¾ cup
Editor's Note: Look for organic ingredients—locally grown when possible—and local honey.
