Roasted Garlic Herb Sauce

Directions

1. 1.

   Heat a medium, dry, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium. Roast garlic, stirring occasionally, until skins have darkened on all sides and cloves inside are soft, 12–15 minutes. Let cool.

2. 2.

   Peel away skins and discard; transfer cloves to a blender. Add parsley, mint, oil, lemon zest and juice, red pepper, and salt. Blend until a pesto-like sauce forms.

3. 3.

   Sauce can be made 5 days ahead; store in an airtight container and chill, or freeze up to 1 month.
