I have a 3lb bag of whole peeled garlic that expires at the end of the month. What things can i do with this massive quantity of garlic?!?!
I don't need recipes that call for 'one clove of garlic' - i need recipes that call for huge quantities of garlic!!
Thank you!!!

Freeze your garlic and use as needed.
Don't worry about it. Peel it and pop it into the freezer and use as needed.

I love you all! So, I've got a big bag sealed and frozen now. I'm also mid-roasting in olive oil, in preparation for pureeing and freezing. The remaining cloves will be used up in some amazing garlic-y soup...and if I've got more left after that...40-garlic clove-chicken it is. I love garlic! Thank you all for the GREAT suggestions. You've saved me (and my 3 lbs of garlic)!

I routinely roast large amounts of garlic in olive oil, then purée it, and press it into ice cube trays. Once frozen, I pop the cubes out into ziplock bags which I stash in the freezer so as to pluck out as many as I need at any given time.

That's brilliant! As chefs (or foodies who aren't) don't utilize ice cube trays enough.

i have a few ideas for you:
julia child's garlic mashed potatoes are my fav of all. she simmers alot of garlic in butter and that begins the base. You can make a big batch of that and freeze it for future.
Also Susan Spicer has a sublime cream of garlic and onion soup that i am making right now. If either appeals, send me your email and i will email you the recipes.

garlic soup! Here's Ottolenghi's recipe from Plenty: http://www.theguardian...
(Don't let the ingredient list intimidate you. I use a store-bought harissa and it's still really good!)

Here's another recipe from Smitten Kitchen that will use 44 cloves! And has fewer ingredients: http://smittenkitchen.com...

Put them in the freezer in a sealed bag. I always buy a container of peeled garlic and keep it in the freezer. When I need a few cloves, I just get what I need. It works all the time.

There's James Beard's chicken with 40 cloves of garlic! Make this a few times and you'll be all set. http://www.jamesbeard.org...

You can chop up in a food processor, put into a large jar and cover with dry sherry. Keeps almost indefinitely in the fridge. Use whenever you make a stir-fry.

I'd definitely roast most of it and keep in olive oil in the fridge for whenever you want a spread for your bread! Also -- aren't there recipes out there for 30 cloves of garlic chicken or something? I don't know more, but I have seen/heard about it.

Confit! Also, invite some garlic loving friends over, get some good crusty bread and have a roasted garlic fest.
