Answer 1

You want garlic? Here's what you should do!

1. Scrape off most of the skin from the outside of a garlic bulb.
2. Use a super-sharp knife to cut the top off the bulb, so just a little bit of the flesh from the cloves is exposed.
3. Put the garlic in the middle of a sheet of tinfoil and pull the edges of the tinfoil up, so you're making a little "garlic package". Don't seal it.
4. Pour olive oil over the garlic (inside the tinfoil) and sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper on top.
5. Stick in a pre-heated oven and roast until the garlic is soft.

When the garlic is soft, remove it from the oven. Allow it to cool a bit and then squeeze the soft flesh out of the bulbs right onto toasted bread and eat. Alternately, squeeze the soft garlic into a bowl with white kidney beans, fresh herbs and a bit of lemon juice. Pour in the olive oil from the tinfoil package, puree with a hand blender and you've got a great Italian bean dip!

Oh my goodness, garlic can be added to ANY dish (save for desserts I suppose) and make it spectacular!!! You can make garlic flavored olive oil just by plopping a few in your oil container, you can make a good olive oil and garlic clove paste to rub on ANY meat (beef, chicken, pork, whatever)....any time you are sauteeing veggies and/or meat in a pan, throw some sliced garlic in too! I LOVE garlic minced and sauteed with diced green onions, sliced mushrooms, diced tomatoes, maybe even some Candadian bacon and you've got the best base for eggs (scrambled or omlette), add chicken broth and reduce for a good base to layer over meat you then bake in the oven at low-ish heat...on and on and on GARLIC is wonderful!
