Ingredients

• 1 whole head of garlic
• 2 Tbsp Doenjang
• 1½ Tbsp Gochujang
• ¼ cup grapeseed oil
• ¼ cup mirin

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• Cut one end of the garlic just enough to expose the cloves inside
• take a piece of foil and drizzle olive oil (about 1 Tbsp). Place garlic on top of oil cut side up so you can see the exposed cloves. Drizzle more olive oil, season with kosher salt and pepper
• Wrap garlic in the foil to cover and pop in oven for 40 minutes, until softened
• In mini food processor, add grapeseed oil, mirin, doenjang, gochujang and turn on to combine
• Squeeze roasted garlic cloves from peel when softened and add to processor (I add 10-12 cloves) and mix
• Once combined, add 1 Tbsp water to thin out the sauce.
• Pour into container, seal lid and store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
