Julia Child Braised Garlic Cloves Simmered In Cream

• 1 head garlic (with large cloves)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch fresh ground white pepper

1. Separate the garlic cloves from the head.
2. Take a smallish saucepan and heat to boiling about a cup of water; add the cloves of garlic and simmer for about 1 minute- drain, peel the garlic (which should be softish and should peel easily) and set aside.
3. Melt the butter in the saucepan; add back in the peeled garlic and saute over low for 10 to 15 minutes, until they're a creamy yellow color and are very tender.
4. Add the cream to the saucepan, as well as the salt and a bit of freshly ground white pepper, and simmer over low for 5 to 10 minutes until garlic is"meltingly tender".
5. Notes: These can be used in many recipes, such as mashed potatoes, in a creamy pasta sauce, over sauteed spinach, or just snack on them all by themselves!
