Ingredients

  • 3 heads of garlic, peeled 200 g of cloves
  • 1 cup olive oil 220 g

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the olive oil on medium low heat until hot, then add in all the peeled garlic cloves.
  2. Make sure the garlic is submerged, add a little extra olive oil if you need to. Reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 30-45 minutes until garlic is fork tender.
  3. Remove from heat and store in a jar in the fridge with the olive oil you used in the pan for up to 2-3 weeks.

Notes

  • Storing leftover confit: Leftover garlic confit MUST be stored in the fridge, and will last 2-3 weeks tightly covered in a clean jar in the fridge.
  • If you won't consume it during that time, you can freeze it in a freezer safe container for several months.
  • Adding herbs: For extra flavor, feel free to add fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme or oregano sprigs to the oil to infuse the garlic with flavor. You can also add chili peppers for some heat!
