Guacamole With Roasted Garlic

- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 medium fully ripe avocados, halved, pitted
- 1 lime, juice of
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 shallot, minced
- 2 small jalapeno peppers, stemmed, seeded and minced

- For the garlic: heat the oven to 375u0b0. Place the garlic head on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil; rub with the olive oil. Wrap the garlic securely in the foil; roast until tender, about 50-60 minutes. Remove from the oven; set aside to cool at room temperature.
- Unwrap the garlic; halve crosswise with a serrated knife. Squeeze out the softened garlic pulp into a small glass bowl, or scoop it out with a teaspoon or small knife. Cover the bowl; refrigerate until ready to use.
- Scoop the avocado flesh into a mixing bowl; pour the lime juice over. Lightly mash until still slightly chunky; stir in the cilantro, 1-2 T. of the roasted garlic, shallot, jalapeno pepper and salt. Serve immediately with corn tortilla chips.
