Garlic Confit
Garlic confit is the perfect recipe to keep making over and over. Once you learn how to prepare it and how delicious it tastes, you'll always want to have a jar of this garlicky goodness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup garlic around 3 garlic heads, cloves
- 1 cup olive oil extra virgin
- 2-3 rosemary fresh springs
- 1 tablespoon peppercorns
Instructions
- Peel the garlic cloves. This may be the part that takes the longest, but totally worth it.
- Add all the ingredients to a small saucepan or pot, making sure all the garlic cloves are submerged in the oil, otherwise, you'll need to add more oil.
- Cook for about 30 minutes at low heat until the garlic is soft enough to mash with the back of a fork; we're looking for a buttery texture here. Do not let the oil reach a boiling temperature, as garlic confit is supposed to be slow-cooked.
- When the garlic is cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to a sterilized glass jar.
- Pour enough oil to cover the garlic cloves and store up to three weeks in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Try different herbs and seasonings for your garlic confit.
