To roast garlic, slice off the top of a whole garlic bulb. Place in a square sheet of foil paper about 20cm x 20cm (8" x 8"). Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive
oil, place two sprigs of thyme and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Enclose the garlic by bringing up the sides of the foil and pinching the package
closed. Bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for approximately 35 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are soft and creamy in texture. To use in the recipe
above, allow to cool. Squeeze the garlic bulb to extract the cloves. Keep them whole for this recipe.
