"Have any of you roasted garlic? I'm interested in how you did it,
what kinds of garlic did you use (and really enjoy)...?"
Well, in my humble opinion, roasted garlic is great and veratile!
I've found the larger the bulb, the easier to prepare. California
white softneck garlic works fine, but there other harneck garlic varieties,
organically grown, that offer more exciting and complex flavors for the
discerning palate. Garlic can be described like wine.
