Garlic Confit
Description
The recipe involves peeling large garlic cloves and submerging them in olive oil along with fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs. Baking at 250°F for about 1.5 to 2 hours slowly softens the garlic to a creamy texture and enhances its sweetness while infusing the oil with aromatic herb flavors.
The garlic cloves become tender and golden, suitable for spreading on bread or adding to dishes where a mild, rich garlic flavor is desired. The leftover garlic-infused oil can be used as a dip or in cooking to impart a subtle herbal garlic aroma.
Once cooled, the confit should be stored in a clean jar in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to two weeks. This makes it a convenient make-ahead condiment or ingredient to enrich various recipes.
Ingredients
- 4 garlic separate the cloves and peel, large heads
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 rosemary sprigs
- 2 thyme sprigs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F.
- In a small baking dish, combine the peeled garlic cloves, oil, and fresh herbs.
- Bake until the garlic is tender, stirring from time to time. This will take about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The garlic should be soft and golden.
- Remove from the stove and let it fully cool on a wire rack.
- Store the confit in a clean jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Use the garlic as a spread and the garlic oil as a dip.
