Garlic Olive Oil
Description
This Garlic Olive Oil recipe involves placing bruised garlic cloves in a saucepan with olive oil and warming just until the mixture becomes aromatic and is warm to the touch. The gentle heat allows the garlic to release its essence into the oil without browning or altering the garlic’s fresh flavor. Cooling before bottling preserves the infused oil and the garlic cloves inside.
The resulting oil carries a subtle garlic aroma and flavor, suitable for finishing dishes, salad dressings, or cooking where a mild garlic note is desired. The garlic cloves left in the bottle can also be used for additional flavoring or discarded once their potency diminishes.
