List of Ingredients
Tip For Roasting Whole Garlic
1 large head of garlic
Butter and fresh thyme (optional)
Recipe
Using a sharp knife, cut the pointed top off the garlic
head so that the cloves are just visible through the cuts
in the top of the garlic. Several hours before serving,
put the garlic in the oven at 250 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Remove and let cool.
Just before serving, put the garlic on a heatproof serving
dish; garnish with butter and crossed sprigs of fresh thyme,
if desired. Heat oven to 450 degrees and roast garlic for
5-10 minutes, or until brown all across the top. Serve while
still warm.
To serve: Just scoop out the cloves of garlic from the head
and mash them onto a hot crusty slab of French bread.
