Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 300 F.
  • Cut the garlic through the equator to 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, etc.**
  • Totally an *aaaaahhhh* moment!

    Sounds really yummy. Not at all what I thought it would be based on the name. My grandma used to make a dish called goop, with rice and hamburger. I like the acronym better!
