Garlic Confit

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 120 degrees Celsius / 250 degrees Farenheit.

Step 2

Peel the garlic by breaking the cloves away and placing them into a heatproof bowl. Submerge in boiling hot water for 5 minutes and drain. The skin will become loose and easy to peel away.

Step 3

Place the garlic cloves and thyme into an ovenproof dish and fully submerge in olive oil. It's important the garlic is fully submerged in the olive oil so it does not burn. Bake for 2 hours or until the garlic has browned in colour.

Step 4

Allow to cool and store in an airtight container or jar for up to several weeks in the fridge.
