Garlic Confit

Garlic confit consists of covering garlic cloves in oil and cooking at low heat until tender. This transforms the raw and robustly forward flavor of uncooked garlic to a subtly sweet and nutty flavor. In addition, the garlic cloves become softened and can be spread like butter. The oil can be infused with various aliums, spices, and herbs, which add another creative dynamic and help elevate the flavor profile. Feel free to use it on cooked meats, in salad dressings, or in any way you can imagine. Hope you give it a try!

Ingredients:

-20 to 30 peeled garlic cloves

-olive oil

-salt and pepper

-red chili flakes (optional)

-dried bay leaves (optional)

-fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, etc.) (optional)

Instructions:

-preheat the oven to 250F

-place the peeled garlic in a shallow, oven-safe container

-add the garlic cloves into the container and cover them in olive oil until fully submerged

-add salt, pepper, and any other desired additions

-place the container on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 2 hours

-carefully remove the tray when finished and allow the garlic and oil to cool for at least 30 minutes

-transfer into an airtight container with a lid and store in the fridge for up to 1-2 weeks

... Read moreGarlic confit is a culinary treasure that transforms simple garlic cloves into a rich and flavorful condiment. Cooking garlic in oil not only mellows its sharpness but also infuses the oil with its delightful essence. This technique dates back centuries and is used worldwide to enhance various dishes. Besides its exquisite taste, garlic confit is highly versatile; it can be incorporated into pastas, blended into sauces, or used as a topping for artisan bread. For an extra touch, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary during the confit process, enhancing the aromatic profile. Additionally, the infused oil retains the benefits of garlic, which is known for its health properties—this can be a flavorful way to incorporate garlic into your diet. Storing garlic confit is easy: fill a clean jar with the cooled garlic and oil, ensuring the garlic is submerged to prevent spoilage. Kept in the fridge, it lasts for 1-2 weeks, making it a great make-ahead option for busy cooks. Whether you're a novice or an experienced chef, garlic confit is an excellent way to add depth to your dishes while impressing your guests with minimal effort.
