My husband Philip got this recipe from his dad (who ate raw garlic every day because it keeps you healthy and has now out lived his wife and one of his children by many years...just saying)Dad Gursky would make roasted garlic to spread on the italian bread at every meal. It is amazing how simply roasting it makes it have such a wonderful rich flavor.
