Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In small ovenproof pan, toss the garlic cloves in the olive oil to coat well. Roast until the garlic is light golden brown evenly, about 15 minutes.

Transfer the garlic to a blender, pour in the stock, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Process until smooth. Add the chopped herbs and the butter and continue to process until smooth. Transfer to a container and allow to cool. If made early in the day refrigerate, covered, until needed.

When ready to serve, reheat the sauce over low heat.

This recipe yields about 2 cups

Comments: This is a simple sauce that can easily be served over cooked chicken, sautéed shrimp, or leftover pork or beef.
