Ingredients
1 head garlic
5 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 cup silken tofu (4 1/2 ounces)
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place the head of garlic on a piece of foil, drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil and wrap into a package. Roast directly on the oven rack until the cloves are soft, 30 to 40 minutes.
