Roasting garlic turns its flavour soft and mellow and perfect for enjoying on its own. Any leftover oil can be filtered and reserved.
4 -6 heads garlic
1 1/2 cups olive oil
4 sprigs thyme or 4 sprigs rosemary
salt
pepper
1 tablespoon extra-large capers
mixed olive (optional)
baguette or country bread, for serving
Preheat the oven to 300°F Cut the garlic through the equator so that the tips of the cloves are exposed, discard top bits. Pour the olive oil into a small roasting dish. Add the salt, pepper, thyme and capers to the oil. Nestle the garlic cut-side down in the dish and cover tightly with foil.
Roast the garlic for 45-50 minutes, until the bottoms are well browned and the garlic is soft. Set aside to cool for at least 20 minutes (important! the oil is hot!).
To serve: add the olives, if using, and turn the garlic cut side up. Dip your bread in the oil, and scoop out garlic cloves and spread on bread with capers, munch on olives, and enjoy.
