So there's a garlic Throwdown in the works. I had to try one of my favorite garlic heavy dishes with a bit of a smokey twist.
First, heads of garlic were slow roasted in my Weber kettle with a small fire.

I made a little "campfire" with some small oak logs that I had. On goes the cast iron with all the components waiting.

Used a bunch of raw garlic along with shallots, olive oil, butter, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Also a generous pour of good Chablis. (Don't cook with wine you wouldn't drink.)

Baguette was grilled with EVOO and then a spread of the roasted garlic puree and a touch of salt.

Then in to the bowl and time to eat!

Garlic on garlic on garlic! It was a super delicious classic with just a bit of smokey goodness.

Shots fired indeed! Holy smokes that looks good and had to taste even better. Two of my favorite good groups, mussels and garlic toast. Well played! :thumb:
 
Damn that looks like amazing! Looks like something you'd get as an appetizer in a nice resturaunt or pub food.
 
I love mussels, they never seem to get much attention, but I like to grab the big bag of them at Costco and go to town.
 
That looks good. But im pretending those are clams since i hate mussels. Can't stand their hairy beards.
