Joe Strummer had been toying with the phrase rock the casbah prior to hearing Topper Headon's musical track that would form the basis of the song. This phrase had originated during a jam session with Strummer's violinist friend Tymon Dogg.
Instructions. 1  Preheat oven to 400F. 2  Cut the top 1/2 inch from garlic bulb (straight across the top so you cut into just the tops of the cloves). 3  Roast for 30-40 minutes or until garlic is very soft and lightly browned. 4  Squeeze garlic out of its skin and into a small dish.
Lay the sliced garlic cloves on a cookie sheet in a single layer. Dry the garlic in your oven for two to three hours until the garlic slices are crisp. Turn the garlic with a spatula every 20 minutes.
