Ingredients

  • 1 whole head garlic
  • ½ cup pitted black or Kalamata olives
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 cup homemade or good quality mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. 
  • Slice ¼ inch off the top of a head of garlic, exposing the tops of the cloves inside. Drizzle cut garlic with 1 tablespoon evoo, and wrap in foil. Place in oven and roast at 350°F for 40 minutes, or until the garlic is lightly browned, soft and very fragrant. 
  • Squeeze cloves of garlic into food processor or blender. Add olives and tomato paste and pulse until smooth.
  • Spoon garlic-olive mixture into a small bowl. Fold in mayonnaise and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Cover and store dip in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve with vegetable crudites, as a sandwich spread, a dip for Shabbat first course, or with Fritto Misto--a fried mix of vegetables, cheese, or fish.
