Cook's Note:
Six cloves of garlic in one dish!
No this isn't a typo.
Chopping or pressing garlic,
releases it's essential oils
and produces a more assertive
flavor than cloves left whole.
Roasted whole garlic can be
quite mild.
To roast, place cloves in
a baking dish;
drizzle with olive oil.
Bake at 400 degrees for
30 minutes.
