Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the garlic on a large sheet of aluminum foil and surround with the lemon slices. Drizzle with the olive oil. Wrap the foil into a package and roast until the garlic is soft, about 1 hour.

Place the garlic, lemon slices and accumulated juices into the desired steaming equipment with the bay leaf, peppercorns and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute.

Begin steaming. Add boiling water if too much of the liquid evaporates before cooking is complete.
