MICROWAVED GARLIC Here's a slightly adapted recipe from Barbara Kafka's Microwave Gourmet cookbook. (an Excellent cook book for those who want to nuke more and eat sooner.) 4 heads garlic 1/3 cup vegetable stock Cut off tips of garlic heads, revealing cut cloves. (I do this because I think it makes it easier to squeeze) place garlic and stock in glass pan, cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100% for 6-8 minutes, or longer if bulbs are large. Remove from oven and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Remember, YMMV when it comes to microwave cooking times.
