Preheat the oven or grill to 375°F.

Slice the top off the head of garlic just enough to expose the cloves, and trim the bottoms of the shallots.

Place both on a sheet of foil, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.

Wrap tightly and roast for 1 hour, or until tender.

Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

Reduce the oven or grill temperature to 350°F.

In a mixing bowl, squeeze the softened garlic cloves and shallots from their skins.

Mash with a fork until a smooth, paste-like consistency forms.

Add the remaining ingredients and stir until well combined.

Spread the mixture into an 8x8 baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

Let cool slightly before serving with your choice of bread, chips, or crackers.
