Ingredients
10 large cloves garlic, peeled but left whole
1 fresh rosemary sprig, 6 inches long
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Salt and pepper
2 baguettes (not sourdough), 1/2 pound each
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, optional
Directions
Put the garlic, rosemary, and olive oil in a small skillet and heat
slowly until the oil just begins to simmer. Turn the cloves over in the oil and saute for 10 minutes
longer. Remove from the flame and let cool for 15 minutes.
Remove the garlic cloves from the oil (reserve the oil) and mash them to a paste with a knife or
mortar and pestle. Take the leaves off the rosemary sprig and finely mince them. In a bowl, combine
