8th March 2009

As promised here is one of the Valentine’s dinner recipes. I hope you enjoy it! 

Ingredients
1 whole head garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 10 oz package chopped spinach, frozen
¼ cup milk, skim
1 dash hot pepper sauce
1 8oz package cream cheese

Directions
Cut off pointed top portion of head (1/4 inch) with a knife, leaving the bulb intact. Place on double thick square of foil. Drizzle oil over garlic. Fold foil up around head to enclose. Bake in 375 oven for 20 minutes or until garlic is soft. Let cook so that removing garlic can be done quickly and without burning yourself.

Cook spinach according to package directions, omitting salt. Drain well, press out excess liquid. Squeeze pulp from garlic cloves and dice place in saucepan. Add drained spinach, milk, hot pepper sauce, and pinch of salt. Stir until well combined. Add cream cheese, process until nearly smooth. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until heated through. Serve with sliced French bread.
