I needed some steam roasted garlic for a sausage recipe that I made this evening. Tomorrow I'll smoke some of the sausages. Here is the garlic roasted and cut horizontally in half-
Here are some of the roasted cloves-
Pressed the roasted cloves through a sieve and filled a small jar.
I have stuffed the sausages and taste tested with some leftover stuffing meat-
Looks nice and moist
Stay tuned for the smoked sausages:)
Steam Roasted Garlic
Place garlic bulk in a garlic baker with about ¼ inch of water.
Put the cover on the baker. If not using a garlic baker with a cover then cover the dish with foil.
Place in a 325F oven and bake for about 1 hour or until the garlic is soft.
Remove from oven and let cool.
Slice bulbs horizontally in half.
Squeeze out the softened garlic cloves.
Using the back of a spoon press the softened garlic cloves thru the strainer.
Store in fridge for up to 1 week.
Garlic roasted this way will be lighter in colour, sweeter and have less harsh flavour.
