Buy about 4 whole bulbs of garlic, remove some of the tissue skins-but, leave the garlic head intact.
Cut the garlic head in half--see picture. Coat the Garlic with olive oil and simply roast in a 350 oven, till they are golden brown. This could take 30-45 minutes. Once they are cooked and cool enough to handle, simply squeeze the bulb and little gems of garlic will pop out of the shells. Place them an a jar and cover with more olive oil. These little gems can be stored in the fridge, BUT must be used within 2 weeks, or you run the risk of getting BOTULISM poisoning. These are great for adding a punch of flavor to Pizzas, or Pasta dishes, they could be used in almost any savory dish. By Roasting, you loose a lot of the bitter flavor, roasted, they take on a lovely nutty flavor.
