Directions
* Cut off the top ΒΌ of each bulb & discard
* Remove any loose excess skin
* Arrange the bulbs evenly in a pan or ovenproof dish
* Cover liberally with olive oil
* Place the pan into the oven and roast for approximately 10 minutes
* Remove the pan and pour some more oil on each bulb
* Return the pan to the oven and roast for a further 10 minutes
* Rotate the pan or re-arrange the garlic
* Baste again by spooning the oil in the base of the pan over each bulb
* Roast a further 15 minutes or until golden and the cloves are starting to rise out of the skin
* Set aside to cool thoroughly
* Once cooled, remove the garlic, strain the oil through a fine sieve and store for later use in dressings etc.
* To remove the cloves, simply squeeze the base of each bulb and they will come right out of their skin
* Spread the cloves on a nice crusty bread like an Italian ciabatta
* The cloves can also be used on antipasto platters, in your cooking and added to everything from pasta sauces to salads or you can mash them into a paste and use it as a spread or a condiment to meats and seafood. The options are limitless.
* Although the garlic is delicious and sweet, anymore than a few cloves will leave you quite thirsty, which of course is fine if you have plenty of Italian wine on hand.
