Prep Time: 10 min  •  Cook Time: 55 minutes  •  Total Time: 1 hour 5 mins  •  Makes: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

• 2 garlic bulbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus up to an additional tablespoon, as needed
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium shallot, diced
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 ½ cups vegetable broth
• 1 (3-inch) sprig fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• Salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Cut the tops off the garlic bulbs.
3. Place each garlic bulb on an aluminum foil sheet. Drizzle the garlic with olive oil, evenly coating the garlic bulbs with oil.
4. Loosely wrap the garlic bulbs in foil and place them into the oven. Roast the garlic for 30 to 45 minutes, until the cloves are soft, golden brown and caramelized.
5. Once the bulbs are cool enough to handle, squeeze the bulbs to extract the roasted garlic onto a small plate.
6. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then add the shallot.
7. Sweat the shallot for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until it becomes very soft and just begins to brown.
8. Add the flour and stir well to fully mix it with the butter. Cook the mixture for about a minute, stirring constantly.
9. Stir in the broth and rosemary, along with the roasted garlic. Stir the mixture well to work out any lumps, using a whisk if needed.
10. Raise the heat and bring the liquid to a boil, then lower the heat so that it is at a low simmer. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, until thickened slightly.
11. Remove the rosemary sprig from the pot and stir in the soy sauce. Blend the gravy until smooth ether using an immersion blender, or by transferring it to a standard blender.
12. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
