Kick Ass Smoked Garlic Butter Spread

[WALLE]

Hey all! The garlic patch invaded the Mr's flower bed, so I cleaned it out and have been on the roasted garlic gig. This spread is by far our favorite, so I'm sharing.

2-3 cloves of garlic
1 - 2 t. bread dipping seasoning
1-2 T. butter
~1/4 C olive oil
Mix well & mash up the garlic, refrigerate for an hour or so to thicken up the butter and OO, then spread on some good bread.

On the cloves, I add a small bit of butter on the top with a little salt and toss in the smoker. Pictures explain it.













A person could leave the foil open a bit more if you want a smoky garlic spread. Even closed tightly, it definitely comes through.

Give it a whirl! Thanks for checking out my spread.

Good job Tracey...I like the whole idea...Especially the part about adding butter to the garlic while roasting...

Looks good for sure, Tracey. That would be good on some warm sourdough bread.

THAT would be good on a flip flop...

Love anything with garlic, is the bread dipping stuff basically a dry pesto ?

SMARTASS! (so....it could be that someone neglected their SD starter and had to put in a SD 911 call to the Bassmaster to see if it could be salvaged....bubbling this morning so I think we are on the up tick!) Who the hell would be that stupid???

Yeah, if you like garlic, this would be good on a flip flop! Thanks, Hawg!

The bread dipping stuff is a dry, Italian mix that you add olive oil to and dip bread in. The can is on that a neighbor gave us years ago and I just keep it filled with this recipe from Bassman.

Herb Dipping Mix
Yeilds ~ 1/2 cup

1 t. crushed red pepper
1 t ground black pepper
1 t dried oregano
1 t dried rosemary
1 t dried basil
1 t parsley flakes
1 t granulated garlic
1 t minced garlic
1 t kosher salt.

Mix well, add ~1 - 2 t. with a ~ 1/4 C olive oil. Makes one hell of an appetizer.

Yeah, It really adds to the flavor - AND by doing that, you could go directly to the bread without all the other crap!
