Ingredients
- 200 g garlic cloves (Peeled; the source describes this as an approximate amount.)
- olive oil (Good quality; use just enough to fully cover the garlic cloves.)
- rosemary or other herbs (Optional choices mentioned include bay leaves, thyme, or dried chillies; rosemary is shown in the video.)
- salt (A little, for seasoning the garlic when serving.)
Steps
- 1
Peel the garlic cloves.
- 2
Place the peeled garlic cloves in a pot and add just enough olive oil to fully cover them.
- 3
Simmer the garlic and oil over the lowest heat setting for 30 to 40 minutes, until the cloves are very soft and creamy.
- 4
Add rosemary or another herb of your choice, such as bay leaves, thyme, or dried chillies.
- 5
Simmer for another 5 minutes so the herbs can flavor the oil.
- 6
Store the garlic confit in a sterilized glass bottle.
- 7
Use the soft garlic cloves as a spread, such as on bread, and season with a little salt.
- 8
Use the aromatic oil for cooking to add flavor to other dishes.
Notes
The source does not specify storage duration, refrigeration, or a cooling procedure. Because garlic is stored submerged in oil, follow appropriate food-safety guidance rather than assuming it is shelf-stable.
