I have not made this but sounds really good. Can I use dry rosemary? I have to buy a fresh bunch and not use it. I have dried the fresh herbs before when I had too much but now I have to many dried ones!!!

This may seem like quite a lot of garlic to most folks, but when it roasts it loses a lot of that strong acrid flavor and becomes much sweeter. I like to refer to it as "Italian Candy" since I love it so much. I like to roast up a few heads of garlic at a time in aluminum foil when I am cooking something else and use them throughout the week for things like homemade garlic bread, mashed potatoes, hummus dip, and meat marinades!

@ Tinascroggie....All the pressure cookers have an overpressure plug in the lid. It will pop off to release excess pressure. A lot of the newer cookers are pretty much fail-safe. I've been using a 50 yr old pressure cooker for years with no problem.. Just keep your eye on the heat, and follow the instructions for your cooker. They are really safe, and the food is excellent cooked that way. No reason to be afraid. The lid won't blow off. It locks on before heating. Good luck and enjoy.

I have a pressure cooker and I'm afraid to use it because they say the lid will explode off of it if you don't watch it correctly. But anyway, it would be great to use this recipe in a pressure cooker and I think I just might try it!
