  1. Excellent preparation of roasted garlic! Not even one hard or crispy clove (which usually happens when we roast garlic with olive oil in the clay baker or in foil)... so this recipe gets an A+! I used chicken broth with great results. A couple of cloves went into garlic bread last night; then I refrigerated the rest and used some tonight in a rice pilaf. Very versatile, easy to store and totally yummy!
     
  2. Another 5*'s! I had about 1 cup of cloves already peeled and separated, so I used these. I have some in a container in the fridge, which I plan to use on potatoes, french bread, etc. I drained the buttery stock juice and will use that for seasoning anything that comes to mind. The remainder of the cloves were placed in a ziploc bag and frozen for future use! This is a great recipe! I did not salt and pepper the garlic as I will do that at the time of use, depending on what I use it for! The aroma in your kitchen is to die for! High Five to you, EGA! Thanks for a great recipe!
     
  3. Very good. I used some homemade chicken broth that I had just made and the flavor is out of this world. Now if I can keep out of them long enough to use them in something because I keep eating them straight out of the pan.
