The last dish baked for the day.  Roasted cabbage wedges.  This is really easy to make.  今天用烤箱做的最后一道是烤卷心菜。

• Cut a small cabbage into 1-inch-thick rounds 将卷心菜切成一寸厚度
• Place them on the IKEA oven glass dish, which was earlier used to bake bacon (The excess oil from baked bacon strips works as a nice base grease and extra flavouring for these cabbage wedges) 将切好的卷心菜放在之前用过的玻璃烤盘里 (烤烟熏肉所出的油，可避免卷心菜粘盘底，也可增加其味道)
• Sprinkle some salt and black pepper 撒上些许盐和黑胡椒做调味
• Pour extra-virgin olive oil onto the cabbage wedges 再淋上橄榄油

Bake at 200°C for 30 minutes.  The baked cabbage wedges are soft and tender with crispy corners.  用 200°C 烤30分钟。烤好的卷心菜，内部保持了菜的甜美而周边香脆。

Pre-cooked bacon strips are really handy.  Place it in between two slices of bread as a breakfast sandwich.  Adds flavour to your salad or baked potatoes.   Or use them in pasta cooking. 烤好的熏肉有很多用处，可夹在面包里当早餐，撕成小片放在沙拉里或放在烤马铃薯上，又或者用来煮意大利面。

Some tips:

- a packet of about 10 whole garlic bulbs costs around S$2.30

- bake them as soon as possible, before they sprout

- it is a must to add oil, preferably extra virgin olive oil

- optional to add salt, pepper & your favourite herbs (I always add salt and pepper, sometimes rosemary to half of the lot)

- preheat oven at 180-200°C, bake for about 30-40 minutes

- leave the baked garlic in power-off oven for another 10 minutes

- to remove the baked garlic, I would usually peel the skin and pick out each baked cloves.  Less wastage & prettier whole garlic clove.

- these roasted garlic may be added to salad, as a side/garnish to meat dishes, add butter or olive oil as bread spread or simply as a snack

- store them in an airtight container (I use IKEA glass food containers) and keep in fridge, not freezer

- consume them within a week
