Avoid soft bulbs, or bulbs that have give and seem dry and desiccated. • And buy bigger bulbs with bigger cloves! Peeling garlic is a semi-pain, so make it easier on yourself and choose the largest cloves available. • Remove the papery outer covering and separate the cloves. • Do you have a secret tip (that really works!) for quickly peeling garlic cloves? If so, please let me know! I've found that the best way for me is the tried and true one-at-a-time method: just give each clove a gentle whack, enough to break the peel, and then remove the skin. • Place peeled cloves on a sheet of aluminum foil. • Drizzle with olive oil. It doesn't have to be a lot, just enough to coat the cloves. • Add salt and pepper to taste, and any dried herbs or seasonings you like. I usually add a little thyme. • Stir and coat the cloves in the oil and seasonings and then close up the aluminum foil like a Hershey's Kiss. • Place of a baking sheet and slide into an oven preheated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. • Bake 30-40 minutes and they'll be soft and ready for use. • Raw garlic is super strong with a burning bite, but roasting mellows out the bite and transforms the garlic into a tasty treat that • can be popped into your mouth whole. I usually eat a handful of cloves when they're right out of the oven--I can't help myself! • Warm roasted garlic is great on a crostini, which is really just a fancy piece of toast. • Toast slices of French bread and smear on the warm garlic cloves like butter. Top with feta cheese, capers, and kalamata olives for a quick treat. • Use roasted garlic as a spread for sandwiches. • Mix into mashed potatoes or rice dishes (or quinoa). • Add roasted garlic to salads or mash into salad dressings. • Add to jams, and gravies, and guacamole. • Mix with butter for garlic bread. • Add roasted garlic to anything; it's a great item to have in the fridge. • Store refrigerated and it will keep several days, store in a jar refrigerated and covered with oil, and it will keep a little longer, • but there are so many uses for roasted garlic, it will be very easy to find ways to quickly use it up. • Give this roasted garlic recipe a try and let me know what you think, and bon appétit! • Your Call by Kevin MacLeod.
