To make the Garlic Confit and Garlic Oil you will need: - a few heads of fresh garlic - a cup of good olive oil - fresh herbs, we have used rosemary and thyme. You can also use oregano, sage, and basil.
STEP 1
First, start by gathering your ingredients. After that, peel the garlic heads. Next, add the garlic cloves to a small baking dish and after that add the olive oil. Choose an olive oil that can be cooked at a high temperature.
STEP 2
Next, add the fresh herbs, and toss everything well, so all the ingredients are coated in the oil. Bake at 250 degrees F for about 2 hours. The garlic confit is done when the garlic cloves are very tender and have a golden brown color. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it fully cool before transferring the garlic and oil mixture to a jar.
STEP 3
Finally, add the garlic cloves and oil to a jar and store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You can use the tender garlic cloves as a spread, or to add extra flavor to meat. The oil is great for dipping, in salads, salad dressings or to brush on veggies and meat when grilling.
