Sometimes you make a recipe and it surprises you. Then there are other times when you end up with exactly what you expected. This was one of those times. I expected lots of luscious mellow roasted garlic flavor melded with salty, smoky bacon and a hint of pungence from the chives and scallions - all enveloped in a blend of creamy mayo and sour cream. And that's exactly what I got. Loved it!
ROASTED GARLIC BACON
DIP
Yield: 2 ½ cups
3 heads garlic, left
whole and unpeeled
6 slices bacon
1 1/2 cups sour
cream
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped
chives
1/4 cup chopped
scallions
1/2 teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce
salt and freshly
ground black pepper to taste
1. Heat
oven to 400º F.
2. Cut
just enough off the tops of the garlic heads to expose the cloves. Rub each
head with olive oil and wrap in foil (or place in a ramekin and cover with
foil). Roast until tender and golden, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
3. While
the garlic roasts, lay the bacon strips on a sheet pan and bake at the same
temp. for 15 to 20 minutes, or until bacon is very crispy. Blot on paper
towels. Once cooled, finely chop.
4. Once
the garlic is cool enough to hold, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of
their skins.
5. Combine
roasted garlic and bacon with the remaining ingredients and season to taste.
