    2      Large Bulbs   garlic
    2      Tablespoons   extra-virgin olive oil
                         Salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to 
 taste
 
 
 In this recipe, we do not peel the garlic bulb but rather roast 
 it in its papery covering. With a very sharp knife, remove just 
 enough of the root end of the garlic bulb to flatten it enough 
 to sit upright. From the more tapered, flower end of the bulb, 
 slice 1/4 to 1/2-inch off the top to reveal the garlic cloves 
 within, but do not remove too much of the cloves' flesh.
 
 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the garlic bulbs 
 upright in a baking dish, and drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons 
 olive oil over the top of the exposed cloves.
 
 Season with a touch of salt and pepper, cover with 
 aluminum foil, and roast 30 to 35 minutes, until the 
 garlic cloves take on a rich golden color and the papery 
 covering has begun to brown but has not blackened.
 
 Remove from the oven and cool several minutes before 
 serving. The garlic also can be served at room temperature 
 and used in place of butter on the dinner table.
