Toast almonds in a preheated 325 F oven for 10 minutes. Remove from
oven, lower heat to 275 F. In an ovenproof dish with a cover, place
the oil, then the garlic cloves. Cover and bake at 275 F for
40 minutes, or until tender but not brown. Let garlic cool. Place
garlic and oil in a blender or food processor. Whirl for a few
seconds. Add cream cheese, Worcestershire, mustard, and sour cream.
Blend well. Add the parsley, almonds, rosemary, shallots, salt, and
pepper. Blend again. Check consistency. If too thick, add a little
milk and blend. Scoop out into a serving bowl and chill at least
2 hours.

Serve with bread sticks and/or raw vegetables.
