Ingredients

1	head	garlic
1	tablespoon	olive oil, extra-virgin
1	tablespoon	balsamic vinegar	or, brandy
1	each	rosemary leaves	sprig
3	cups	vegetable stock
1/2	cup	white wine	dry

1/2	each	bread	loaf
1	each	garlic clove
1/2	cup	parmesan, parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated	grated
1	tablespoon	garlic chives

Directions

Preheat the oven to 300F.

Slice the top from the head of garlic and remove most of the papery outer skin from the head, but do not peel or separate into cloves.

Place in a small ovenproof dish. Pour the olive oil over the top and add the vinegar and rosemary.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake until very tender, about 1 hour.

Remove from the oven and let cool.

NOTE - Prepare 1/2 loaf of whole wheat Italian bread: cut diagonally into 1/2 inch-thick slices.

Preheat the oven to 350F. Squeeze the softened garlic from the skins into a saucepan, and add the broth and wine.

Heat to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook for 15 minutes.

While cooking, make the herb toast.

Bake the bread slices on a baking sheet until crisp but not golden, 6 to 8 minutes.

Rub the bread with the cut sides of the garlic clove, then brush generously with oil.

Sprinkle on a thin layer of the Parmesan cheese and chives.

Bake until the cheese is melted, another 5 minutes.

Serve immediately with the hot soup.

Substitution for the Chinese garlic chives: 1 clove garlic and twice as much volumn of fresh chives.

Super Low Fat Tomato Sauce

It is worth the effort to hunt through stores to find the canned Italian plum tomatoes imported from Italy. It makes such a huge difference than big brand tomatoes. It is the only canned tomatoes I have seen WITHOUT huge amounts of salt added. Check the label, if the canned tomatoes you use have salt there will be no need to add any to this recipe. Wish there was a way to remove the salt once it has been added to the can.
