Katies Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette Recipes

ROASTED GARLIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Roast Garlic: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut off the top of the head of garlic to expose the top of the cloves (see :06 of how-to video). Coat the head of garlic with olive oil and wrap in tinfoil. Put the garlic in the pre-heated oven for 30-35 minutes or until garlic is golden brown and the cloves soft and tender. Once cooled completely, squeeze the head of roasted garlic to push the garlic cloves out of their skins.
• Blend: Blend the roasted garlic cloves and remaining ingredients until smooth (about a minute). Use immediately or store in the fridge in a sealed container until needed.

• For the roasted garlic:
• Cut the bulbs of garlic in half crosswise into a top and bottom. Place the garlic halves on a sheet of foil, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

Keep the garlic in the foil and let cool slightly.
• For the pork:
• Place the pork loin in a medium, heavy roasting pan. Season all sides with salt and pepper. Place the pork in the oven 30 minutes after the garlic has started roasting. Roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 to 145 degrees F, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the roasting pan from the oven, tent the pork loin with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes.
• For the vinaigrette:
