3Tbs olive oil                                                                                                                                                                       1 large onion julienned (any verity will work)                                                                                                                      1 pinch sea salt                                                                                                                                                                  3 large peppers                                                                                                                                                             30oz kidney beans                     

using a heavy bottom pot add onions and sea salt into oil and heat on low for about 10 minutes, increase heat to medium/low and cook for about another 15 minutes stirring occasionally.  Once onions are translucent and starting to brown mix in sliced peppers and kidney beans.  Cook on medium string frequently until the beans just start to breakdown slightly.  Season as desired for use. Typically I use garlic powder or roasted garlic cloves and crushed red pepper flakes.  

I love garlic but I hate to peel and chop it. This versatile recipe gives you a magnificent robust garlic without the stinky hands. You can mash the roasted garlic and oil into a paste or add the garlic and oil separately into your favorite recipes. Use to flavor roasts, marinades, stews, soups, or anything else your imagination can come up with. Place fresh garlic into a small oven safe pot and drizzle with any healthy heat tolerant oil to coat.  Place in a 350-450* oven or outdoor grill and roast for about 30 minutes. (You can also cook individual cloves on the stove top)  You will know it is done when the oil is simmering and the garlic cloves feel soft to the touch.  If you want to use the whole clove for your recipe just cut off the top of the clove before roasting, Once the garlic is roasted and cool to the touch you can squeeze the garlic out of the clove.  If you don’t use the whole clove just split off what you want and store in an air tight storage container and pick of pieces as you need them.
