If you've got the time...roast those heads of garlic in the oven first. Use it as a spread. Mmmm...mmmm good!
3 large heads garlic, cut horizontally in half
3 cups pure olive oil
4 sprigs thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns, toasted
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
Put the garlic heads cut side down in a small casserole or ovenproof pot and pour the olive oil over them. Add the thyme and pepper. Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the garlic is soft enough to mash.
You guys don't need "Queer Eye"...you've got me.
