That's a lot of garlic!

5/5

Wow - I might do 4 or 5 bulbs at a time - this is an incredible amount - when would you ever use so much roasted garlic Julia?

The garlic is roasted whole and the cloves squeezed out when cooked. It can be used as the basis for soups, sauces and anything you can stretch your imagination to.

The amount of 'bodacious bulbs' used in the recipe may seem rather petrifying, but once it has roasted, it develops a sweet, yet aromatic flavour.

The quantity given below is for just 4 bulbs, however, the images on the right show 27 of them being roasted at the same time - see Chef's Notes, below.

Chef's notes

You may find it worth roasting garlic in bulk if you use a lot of it. Follow the procedure above, but roast at 160° C (325° F - gas 3) and about 2-3 hours, checking it regularly after 2 hours.

This is the first time I have made this in bulk, so I will be monitoring its keeping properties. Some I will freeze and some I will store in a Lock & Lock box in the fridge.
