DIRECTIONS
|

1:
Preheat oven to 375°F. For
garlic paste, cut 1/2 inch off the
pointed top portions of garlic bulbs.
Remove the outer papery layers of
the garlic. Place both bulbs on a
square piece of foil. Bring edges of
foil together to form a pouch; seal.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until
garlic is very soft. When cool enough
to handle, use your fingers to press
garlic pulp from each clove. Mash
pulp with a spoon or fork to make
a smooth paste. Set aside.

granules, and black pepper. Add to
mushroom mixture. Cook and stir
until thickened and bubbly.
