Yes, I know...40 cloves of garlic sounds crazy but it is delicious. The more the garlic cooks, the sweeter the taste. A friend gave me this recipe years ago...it has been around "forever". It is really a tasty recipe. It is great served with a nice salad and your favorite hot bread. Very comforting.....
