Ingredients

2 large heads garlic, separated into cloves and peeled (see note at bottom of instructions)

2 Tablespoons oil (I use EVOO)

Tortilla chips

1/4 cup chopped red onion

1 (4-oz.) can chopped green chiles (or more)

1/3 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed olives, optional

1 1/2 cups shredded jalapeno jack cheese (better to shred it yourself)

Chopped cilantro

Chopped green onion tops

Directions

Coat garlic with oil and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until soft and golden.

Cover a 13x9-inch foil-covered metal pan with tortilla chips.

Mash and distribute garlic, onion, chiles and olives evenly over chips.

Cover with cheese and bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes or until cheese melts.

Top with cilantro and green onion and serve.

Note: I think it is easier to bake whole heads of garlic and then squeeze the softened garlic out into a dish to mash. To do this, slice and discard a little of the root end of the garlic bulb and drizzle with a little olive oil. Then wrap in foil and bake until soft.

I keep saying one of these days I will take a trip to Gilroy California during the garlic festival.
This sounds fantastic I will try this this week.

Five forks and a smile :)

Yes Michelle I roast the garlic heads whole then press them through a potato ricer like a giant garlic press.

My son-in-law's family lives in Gilroy, and my daughter has had the pure pleasure of attending the Garlic Festival twice now (she is a huge fan of garlic, thank goodness!)...this recipe sounds delish, and another Must Try for sure. Keep those apps coming, connor!
PS - daughter tried the garlic ice cream - said it was just "ok"...I think I would have to pass on that one, too...
