Notes: It is a good dish to fix, put in the oven,.. and forget...The garlic is good spread on dark bread. Very flavorful.
This was one of David Balding's favorite recipes. He, himself, prepared it several times traveling on the road with Circus Flora. (A note ... I was never sure whether this recipe called for CLOVES or BULBS of garlic in the first list.)
