Description
Note: This recipe is a modified version from the cookbook Gjelina.
Ingredients
- 2 cups olive oil, or more as needed
- 8 heads garlic, cloves separated and peeled
- 12 fresh thyme sprigs or a bunch of any herbs that you like
- 3 bay leaves, bruised
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a medium baking dish, combine olive oil, garlic, thyme and bay leaves. The garlic should be completely covered. Bake until the garlic cloves are soft, fragrant, and lightly browned but still hold their shape, about 45 minutes to an hour. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.Place in mason jars, making sure the garlic is completely covered with the oil. Lasts for about 5 weeks in the refrigerator.
Notes
Cook’s note – Here I have cooked the garlic at 350°, which is below the smoke point of Olive Oil.
