NOTES : MC formatting and posted by bobbi744@sojourn.com * To Bake Garlic: Preheat the oven to 350=B0 Place a whole head of garlic in a small baking pan. Drizzle one teaspoon of olive oil over the head of garlic, add 1/4 cup water to the pan. Bake the garlic, loosely covered with aluminum foil, for 45-60 minutes or until the cloves are soft. The cloves will slip right out of their skins to be mashed, chopped or served whole. The whole garlic cloves can be served as a side dish with any roast meat, the mashed garlic cloves are also delicious mixed with hot homemade mashed potatoes.
