Tips: If smoking the garlic on a BBQ pit, slice the top of a garlic head off and drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle salt and black pepper. Wrap the garlic head in foil and smoke it for at least 1 hour or until the garlic is soft. Squeeze the garlic out of the skin to use. If using the oven, follow the same steps except put the garlic head in a 400°F oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the garlic is soft.
