Garlic & Avocado Mayonnaise

Gluten-Free Condiments
ROASTED GARLIC & AVOCADO MAYONNAISE 

INGREDIENTS

1 Avocado, pitted & peeled
4 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Bulb of Roasted Garlic, recipe below
1 Lemon, zest & juice
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Honey, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Place everything in a food processor, or tall bowl if using a stick blender, and run at high speed until silky smooth.  If the mayo seems a bit thick, add another drizzle of olive oil or juice. Taste for seasoning and add more if desired. Store the mayo in a covered glass container in the fridge. If the mayo is too lemony for your taste, add a touch of honey to balance things out.

Oven Roasted Garlic

INGREDIENTS

2-3 Whole Heads of Garlic
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

DIRECTIONS
Preheat toaster oven to 350°

Peel and discard the papery outer layers of the whole garlic bulb, leaving the skins on the individual cloves of garlic. Be careful not to break the cloves from the bulb. With a small sharp knife, cut just the tops of cloves off, exposing the individual cloves inside. If you miss some of the smaller cloves, or the lower ones on the outside edge, don’t worry, they’ll still roast up fine. 

Place the bulbs, cut side up, into individual ramekins. If you’re going to do multiple bulbs a muffin pan works well. Drizzle the olive oil over the bulbs, making certain to get each exposed clove. Place in the hot oven and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the cloves are lightly browned and feel soft when pressed.

Allow the garlic to cool and remove the individual cloves from the bulb. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins or use a small knife to cut the skin slightly. Place the cloves in a covered, glass container and pour any remaining oil over them.  Enjoy the garlic warm, can be used as an ingredient in a favorite savory recipe, mash to create an amazing spread or aioli, create a flavorful topping for baked potatoes or pastas

Bacon & Sweet Onion Jam

Naturally Gluten-Free Condiments
Bacon & Sweet Onion Jam

INGREDIENTS

1 Pkg Bacon, chopped
3 Large Sweet Onions, chopped
½ Cup Balsamic Vinegar
¼ Cup Brown Sugar
Salt and Pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large, flat bottom, skillet or pan over medium-high heat, cook the bacon stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp. Remove bacon, reserving drippings in the skillet. Add the chopped onions and sauté until tender. Be patient, stir occasionally, and wait for the onions to get caramelized. When the onions are browned, and the edges begin to get a bit crispy, remove the pan from the heat.

Using a stick blender, give the mixture a few quick pulses, just enough to smooth out about 50% leaving the remaining onion pieces whole. Return the pan to the heat, add the cooked bacon, vinegar, sugar and salt & pepper to taste. Once everything begins to bubble again, turn off the heat and leave the pan on the burner, stirring occasionally until it reaches room temperature. The jam can be enjoyed warm on burgers & hot-dogs, or mix with sour cream, cream cheese, or soft goat cheese to create a tasty dip. Store the mixture in a glass container in the refrigerator to enjoy when needed.
