we do too!

How do you make yours?
I usuall cut them in half, steam them briefly and then saute them in butter til they get a little brown & caramelized on the flat side. Last night DH did that but also added some seasoned bread crumbs. They were terrific!

Oh, that sounds really good. I'm boring, I just steam them (in the large micro-cooker of course!) I only like fresh brussel sprouts though, can't stand the frozen ones. I'm pretty much a purist when it comes to my veggies, I like them fairly plain.

I did all 40 cloves and it was amazing. We served the roasted garlic cloves alongside with the chicken and stuff and it was all amazing!

Do you have a quick way to peel 40 cloves of garlic????????
 
  • #17
I am assuming that with all this garlic you should stay in for at least 2 days! LOL!!!

I think I will try this and go the asparagus route instead of the brussell sprouts.
