If you need roasted garlic fast, toss 5–6 unpeeled cloves into a small, heavy skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat for five minutes, turning cloves over halfway through. Uncover and cook 3–5 minutes, occasionally shaking pan to turn cloves until skins are slightly charred. The cloves are done when they can be pierced easily with a knife. Cool, peel, and mash with a fork. Five cloves will make about two teaspoons of roasted garlic puree.
