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.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice the tops off of garlic heads so the tip of each clove is exposed. Place garlic on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until garlic is soft, about 30 minutes. Set the oven to broil. Slice the loaf of bread in half horizontally, and place cut-side up on a baking sheet. Squeeze the cloves of garlic from their skins into a medium bowl.
