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 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, silicon mat, or foil. Spread the garlic in a single layer on top of the baking sheet and drizzle with just enough oil so that each clove is coated. Lightly season the garlic with kosher salt. Bake the garlic for 45-60 minutes, gently shaking the pan half way through.
