Description
My Garlic Confit Recipe is simply wonderful. It’s absolutely liquid gold: buttery, soft garlic goodness that’s great in so many recipes!
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 35 minutes. Remove from the 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
When you store the confit in the fridge the oil will harden. To use, simply scoop out the desired amount into a bowl and allow for the oil to come to room temperature, about fifteen minutes.
