OK - due to an ordering snafu from our online grocer (we use Fresh Direct in addition to going to our local grocery stores) we wound up with 6 sleeves of garlic, each containing 3 heads... that's in addition to the 2 heads I scrounged at the local stores this weekend.  I usually use a pretty large amount of garlic - but I don't know what to do with 20 heads of garlic before they go bad and start sprouting.  Any ideas???  So far I've come up with fried garlic and the offshoot - garlic oil.

I roast my extra garlic and freeze it.  I slice the top off, add a sprig of thyme, s & p, olive oil all wrapped in individual foil packages.

Roasted garlic mashed potatoes can be put together really quickly.

 

sorry, I see now this is a repeat of a previous suggestion..except I don’t bother to do anything with it before freezing...but if you are short on freezer space Alex’s idea is great.
