Confit Garlic Butter

Ingredients

• 2 garlic (whole heads, peeled)
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)
• olive oil (enough to cover the garlic)
• 10 g fresh parsley (chopped)
• 40 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 180 g butter (at room temperature for better mixing)

Steps

1. 1

   Peel the garlic cloves from the two heads and place them in an oven-safe dish.

2. 2

   Season the garlic with salt and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Pour olive oil into the dish until the garlic cloves are completely covered.

4. 4

   Place in a preheated oven at 100 degrees Celsius for one hour, or until the garlic is completely confit and tender.

5. 5

   Remove the garlic from the oil (reserving the oil for other uses if desired) and place them in a mixing bowl.

6. 6

   Add 10 g of chopped fresh parsley, 40 g of grated Parmesan cheese, and 180 g of butter to the bowl with the garlic.

7. 7

   Mix everything very well until a creamy and homogeneous texture is achieved.

Notes

The olive oil used to confit the garlic becomes infused and can be stored for cooking other recipes or for dressing salads.
