Roasted Garlic Flan Recipes

THE BEST EASY OVEN ROASTED GARLIC FLANK STEAK RECIPE

Steps:

• Lay flank steak out flat, trim any extra fat or silver skin.
• Generously season steak with salt and pepper.
• Add olive oil, herbs, lemon zest and juice, and diced garlic to a large bowl or (preferably) a large plastic bag and mix well.
• Add steak to bag and let marinate for 40 minutes up to two hours.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees (or 450 - as high as your oven broiler can go.)
• Add large cast iron pan or skillet to oven. If you don't have a pan or cast iron griddle large enough for your steak, you can use a heavy baking sheet lined with foil. (Cast iron will get best results, but don't worry if you don't have it.) Make sure pan is close to broiler, but not touching (I give about 5" to make sure my steak has room under the broiler since I have a gas flame broiler and don't want to start a fire from spattering fat.) Let pan get scorching hot before adding steak to it for the best texture.
• Remove steak from bag, and sprinkle with garlic powder.
• Cook steak in oven for 8 minutes, then flip to other side and cook another 8.
• Continue to cook until steak has reached desired doneness: 125 degrees with a digital thermometer inserted into the fattest part of the steak will give you a rare steak. 135 degrees will get you medium rare, 155 for medium well, and 165 degrees for well done.
• When your steak is done to your taste, remove from oven.
• Place a small piece of foil over the steak to "tent" it and let it finish carryover cooking as it rests for 10 minutes.
• When steak has rested for at least 10 minutes (don't rush - if you cut it right off the grill the steaks juices will all run out), slice it width-wise (so you have lots of thin strips instead of just a few long strips) against the grain - which is essential to keeping the steak from being too chewy or tough.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

ROASTED GARLIC FLAN (ROASTED-GARLIC CUSTARDS WITH MUSHROOMS AND GREEN ONIONS)

Steps:

• To make the mushroom stock: Twist the stem off the mushroom, wipe it with a damp paper towel, and chop it coarsely. Slice off the dark gills from the underside of the cap and reserve the cap. Combine the stem pieces, gills, and stock in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer the stock uncovered for 30 minutes, until reduced to 1-1/2 cups. Set aside. To make the custards: Preheat the oven to 325 F. Place the cream in a saucepan over medium heat with the garlic clove and bring to a boil. Remove the garlic and keep the cream hot. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolk together. Add the cream in a thin stream, whisking constantly. Whisk in the roasted garlic puree until the mixture is smooth and season with salt and pepper. Butter four 6-ounce ramekins. Fill the ramekins with the custard mixture and place them in a shallow roasting pan. Place the pan in the oven and fill the pan with enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the custards are set and a knife inserted in the middle of each comes out clean. Remove the ramekins from the water bath. Let the custards sit for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the inside of each ramekin. To unmold the custards, place a dinner plate over each ramekin and turn it over quickly; lift off the ramekin. While the custard is baking, prepare the sauce: Slice the reserved portobello mushroom cap and heat the butter and olive oil in a medium saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter foam begins to subside, add the sliced mushroom and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the mushroom with salt and pepper. Add the sliced garlic and green onions to the pan. Saute over medium heat until the garlic is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the sherry and boil over high heat until the liquid is reduced by three fourths, about 2 minutes. Add the mushroom stock to the pan along with the broken pasta and thyme. Lower heat and boil gently for 6 to 8 minutes, until the pasta is al dente. To serve: Arrange some mushrooms, garlic, and onions around each unmolded custard. Ladle sauce around the custard and serve. Note: Julienned red and yellow peppers, baby corn, and celery may be added to the sauce with the pasta to make a heartier dish to serve as an entrée.

ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Arrange heads of garlic on a baking sheet. Sprinkle garlic with olive oil. Bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour, when the garlic is soft and squeezable, it is ready. Remove, let cool, and serve.

ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using a serrated knife, slice off top quarter of garlic heads, exposing as many cloves as possible. Arrange garlic heads, cut side up, in an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish (make sure garlic heads sit flat).
• Season garlic with salt and pepper and sprinkle with thyme. Slowly pour oil over each head, letting it soak into and around cloves. Cover dish tightly with foil and roast until cloves are golden, completely soft, and begin to protrude slightly from skins, about 1 hour. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
• From the bottom up, squeeze each head to push out cloves (peel skins from any completely enclosed cloves). Transfer garlic and cooking oil to an airtight container. (Garlic will keep, refrigerated, up to 2 weeks.)

• Roast the heads of garlic. Squeeze the cloves from the skins and mash into a paste.
• Combine 3-4 tablespoons of the paste in a food processor with eggs, salt, and pepper.
• Pulse until smooth. Add the heavy cream and pulse just until mixed.
• Pour into the ramekins and place the ramekins into a water bath.
• Bake until set and golden brown and knife comes out clean (about 35-45 minutes). Let cool for about 5 minutes.
• Run a knife around the inside edge of each ramekin and turn out onto serving plates.

ROASTED GARLIC FLAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap garlic in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour. Allow to cool.
• Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees. Cut garlic heads in half, exposing cloves. Squeeze pulp from skins. Place in a food processor and puree until a smooth paste is formed. Add cream, eggs, salt and white pepper. Process again until smooth; do not overprocess, or the cream will thicken.
• Bring a teakettle of water to a boil. Ladle custard into 6 custard cups or ramekins. Place cups in a deep baking pan. Pour boiling water into the pan two-thirds of the way up the sides of the cups.
• Place baking pan in oven. Bake until custard is set, 35 to 40 minutes; do not overcook. Remove cups from the water bath, and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

ROASTED GARLIC AND PORCINI FLAN WITH PORCINI MUSHROOMS AND TOMATO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Crack the eggs on top, and using an egg cutter, slice the tops off the eggs. Carefully pour out the contents of 5 of the eggs into a bowl and separate the yolks from the whites. Transfer the yolks to another bowl. (Use the 5 egg whites and the contents of the remaining 7 eggs for other dishes). You need a total of 12 egg shells for this recipe. Add the cream and roasted garlic to the 5 yolks and whisk thoroughly; season with salt and pepper.
• Carefully rinse out the hollowed eggs under cold running water and return them to the egg carton. Pour the whisked egg mixture into each hollowed egg so that it fills the shell halfway. Place the carton in a roasting pan. Pour enough warm water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the eggs. Cover the pan with foil and put it into the oven. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the custard is firm and does not break when touched with your finger.
• While the eggs are cooking, pour the oil into a heavy skillet and set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and continue to saute until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the vinegar, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
• Remove the eggs from the oven, and divide the mushroom-tomato mixture between the eggs, spooning it carefully over the custard inside the eggs.
• To serve, arrange the 3 types of peppercorns in the bottom of a serving dish, platter, or basket. Set the filled eggs upright on the peppercorns and serve with demitasse spoons.

BOBBY FLAY'S ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut off the top third of the garlic head. Rub with olive oil, and wrap tightly in parchment paper-lined aluminum foil. Roast until very soft, about 45 minutes.
• To squeeze the pulp, press on the bottom with your thumbs as though you are trying to turn the head inside out; the pulp will slip out of the skins. Pick off any bits of skin.

HOW TO ROAST GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut the top off the garlic bulb, exposing the tops of the garlic cloves. Put on a small square of foil, and rub with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Scrunch up the foil to seal in the bulb.
• Roast for 25-30 mins until soft when pressed, and the papery casing is light golden. Leave to cool for a few minutes before squeezing the soft roasted garlic out of their shells. Alternatively, take off all the papery casing and remove the cloves individually.
