Use the palm of your hand to carefully separate the heads of garlic. Using a sharp small knife, trim the ends of each garlic clove and then peel each clove, leaving it intact.

Place the peeled garlic cloves in a small...

Place the peeled garlic cloves in a small saucepan (2 quarts or larger), cover with the olive oil, and place over very low heat on the stove. As the oil begins to warm, you will slowly see small bubbles form–they will gradually get larger until the oil is simmering slowly.

Continue to cook the garlic in the oil...

Continue to cook the garlic in the oil over very low heat, stirring carefully every few minutes, for 12 to 18 minutes (this will depend on your garlic clove size, adjust time as necessary), or until the garlic cloves are tender and nearly cooked through, yet still retain their shape and are not yet caramelized. Use a long sharp knife to pierce the cloves, they should meet little to no resistance once they are finished cooking.

Remove from the heat, and allow to cool...

Remove from the heat, and allow to cool completely (stir every few minutes) before transferring the garlic and oil carefully to a large glass jar or other airtight container. Add fresh herbs to the oil, if using. Store refrigerated for up to 2 to 3 weeks.

Use this preserved garlic in everything from mashed potatoes to soups and stews, salads and sandwiches. And use the oil in cooking and dressings too.

rendered chicken fat olive oil

Place rendered chicken fat or olive oil into small saucepan.

Let simmer, covered, approx. 1 hour or until garlic becomes browned.

Making it again! Best tasting garlic. Did mine in the oven. I use the leftover oil to make croutons.

Oven Roasted Garlic Confit

8-10 garlic bulbs

salt and pepper, to taste (optional)

Preheat your oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut and remove the top third of the garlic bulbs.

Place the garlic in a casserole pan or glass ovenproof dish and add the olive oil to it.  Pour enough olive oil on top of the garlic so that all the bulbs are covered. Add the sprigs of thyme between the garlic bulbs.

Bake in the oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes.

Squeeze out the garlic from the cloves into a small bowl.  Store both the oil and the garlic in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Focaccia is the perfect bread recipe for beginners as it requires no kneading or no prior bread making skills. It’s super easy to make, absolutely delicious and will always impress and please a crowd. Everyone needs a focaccia recipe in their life but especially this one as it incorporates my famous garlic confit.

Wild Garlic & Rosemary Focaccia

Rich Glen Wild Garlic Olive Oil

rosemary

water

sachet yeast

tsp honey or maple syrup

all purpose white flour (740 grams)

2.5 tsp flakey sea salt (+ extra for sprinkling)

rosemary leaves

garlic olive oil

Preheat the oven to 120 degrees Celsius. 

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. 

Place the garlic cloves, thyme and rosemary into an ovenproof dish and fully submerge in olive oil. It&#39;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. 

Allow to cool and store in an airtight container or jar with the garlic cloves fully submerged in the olive oil for up to several weeks in the fridge.

Wild Garlic Confit

In a medium bowl, mix together the lukewarm water, yeast and honey with a whisk and leave to sit for 5 minutes or until the yeast has foamed. This will indicate that your yeast is active. 

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt and whisk together. Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and bring the dough together with your hands or a spatula until a shaggy and sticky dough forms.

Coat a large mixing bowl with 4 tablespoons of the garlic confit olive oil and transfer the dough to the bowl. Coat the dough in the olive oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place into the fridge. Leave the dough to rise for a minimum of 6 hours but ideally for 24 hours. The dough will double in size and look bubbly. 

Take the dough out of the fridge and fold it over itself in quarters. Gather up each edge of the dough with your hands and fold it over itself while turning the bowl. The dough will deflate while you shape it into a neat ball. 

Coat a deep rectangular baking dish (I use a pan that is 34cm x 23cm x 5cm) with 2 tablespoons of the garlic confit olive oil and transfer the dough ball to the baking dish. Using your fingers, stretch the dough out slightly into a rough rectangular shape. There is no need to stretch the dough out to the edges of the pan as the dough will rise and spread. Cover the pan with a tea towel and leave the dough to rise in a warm area of your house for 3 - 4 hours. If your dough is uncovered there is risk of too much air getting into the dough and creating a dry and crusty layer on top.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius. Once the dough has risen, use your fingers to indent or dimple the dough. Scatter the garlic confit cloves and rosemary over the dough. Drizzle the dough with 2 tablespoons of the garlic confit olive oil. This will help the crust of the dough get golden and crispy when baking. Finish off with a sprinkling of flakey sea salt. Bake for 20 - 30 minutes or until the dough has developed a golden crust on top. 

Let the bread slightly cool before removing it from the baking tray. Place onto a wire rack. 

Slice the bread and enjoy on its own or dipped into the garlic confit olive oil with some balsamic vinegar.

Focaccia Short

This Confit Garlic recipe is going to be your new staple condiment! Confit Garlic is slow-cooked garlic cloves that are soft &amp; savory. It goes so well on toast, with pasta, or even on proteins!

Confit Garlic (Stovetop, Oven, &amp; Instant Pot)

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Peel about 30-40 cloves of garlic, making sure to keep the cloves whole as much as possible. 

Measure 1 1/4 - 2 cups extra virgin olive oil. 

Add all of the garlic cloves and olive oil to the Instant Pot. 

Set the Pot to the &#039;slow cook&#039; function on the lowest setting. 

Cover with a regular lid, not the Instant Pot lid. 

Slow cook for about 1 hour and 30-40 minutes, or until garlic is soft and can be easily pierced with a fork.

Instant Pot Method

To a small or medium sized pot, add all of the garlic cloves and the olive oil. 

Next, turn the stove on to low heat. 

Cook on low for about 1 hour, or until garlic is soft and can be easily pierced with a fork. 

Stovetop Method

Add all of the garlic cloves and olive oil to a small casserole dish or other oven-safe vessel. 

Heat the oven to 200ºF. 

Cook for about 2 hours, or until garlic is soft and can be easily pierced with a fork.

Oven Method

Once the garlic is soft, remove it from its heat source. 

Either add the garlic and the oil to a glass jar and refrigerate or strain out the oil. If you strain the oil, I recommend keeping the oil in a glass container and using it as a cooking oil. 

I also recommend blending the cloves (without the oil) in the food processor and keeping the garlic paste so it is easier to use. 

Remaining Instructions:

Hi Gina! To can low/non-acid foods you have to use a pressure CANNER. (**not  cooker, canner is lower pressure**)
That said *wink* I have successfully canned broth &amp; pasta sauce the hot water bath method. It just takes longer-like 2 or 3 hours. I ate said foods 6-12 months later with no ill effects.

Make your own garlic confit and garlic oil following this simple recipe.

Garlic Confit and Garlic Oil

Peel the garlic and use a knife to cut the brown root off each peeled garlic clove; then place them in a medium saucepan. Then pour oil over the garlic; enough to cover it.

Turn the heat up to medium-low. You want it to reach the point where there are small bubbles in the oil, but not so much that it’s technically boiling. Continue cooking garlic slowly in the oil for roughly 45 minutes. Not only will the oil be garlic-infused, but your house will also be too. It’s a wonderful and intense aroma.

Once the garlic is done, turn off the heat but allow the pan to sit on the burner until it’s completely cooled. Next, place the confit in a jar and refrigerate. 

Store the confit in the fridge in its oil. It will keep up to 2 months if stored properly. Add this roasted garlic to your favorite dishes, and you won’t have to worry about storing it because it will be gone much sooner than that.

This sounds so good! Garlic makes everything taste better!! One question, can I use other oils instead of Olive oil? Like, say, grapeseed oil?

Fabulous...am a big lover of garlic and this garlic confit looks are fantastic and sounds too delicious..i also try it few days later...Thanks for sharing...!

I love any instructions that end in "shake the dickens out of it." Great link!

An indulgent garlic bread made with chilli olive oil garlic confit and a homemade garlic confit butter.

Spicy Garlic Confit Butter Focaccia

Rich Glen Fiery Chili Olive Oil

birds eye chillies (halved)

100 g salted butter (at room temperature)

bird eye chillies (optional)

parsley

tsp flakey sea salt

lukewarm water (2 cups cold water and 1/2 cup boiling hot water)

sachet dry yeast (7 grams)

white all purpose flour

tbsp Rich Glen Extra Virgin Olive Oil (+ 2 tablespoons garlic confit oil)

garlic butter

tsp chili flakes

g parmeson cheese (grated)

Place the garlic cloves and chilies into an ovenproof dish and fully submerge in olive oil. It&#39;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 slightly browned in colour. 

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

Chili Oil Garlic Confit

Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth and all ingredients are well combined. 

Spicy Garlic Confit Butter

Coat a deep rectangular baking dish (I use a pan that is 34cm x 23cm x 5cm) with 2 tablespoons of the garlic confit olive oil and transfer the dough ball to the baking dish. Using your fingers, stretch the dough out slightly into a rough rectangular shape. There is no need to stretch the dough out to the edges of the pan as the dough will rise and spread. Cover the pan with a tea towel and leave the dough to rise in a warm area of your house for 3 - 4 hours. If your dough is uncovered there is risk of too much air getting into the dough and creating a dry and crusty layer on top.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius. Once the dough has risen, drizzle 1 tablespoon of garlic confit olive oil over the top and then use your fingers to indent or dimple the dough. Scatter the garlic confit butter over the focaccia, ensuring it’s at room temperature, and spread it all over with a brush. Place the garlic confit cloves into the dimples of the dough and sprinkle chili flakes and pinch of salt all over. Finish off by sprinkling the parmesan cheese over the top. Drizzle the dough with 1 tablespoon of the garlic confit olive oil to prevent the butter from burning. This will also help the crust of the dough get golden and crispy when baking. Bake for 20 - 30 minutes or until the dough has developed a golden crust on top. 

Slice the bread and enjoy on its own or as a side to pasta.

Made with my famous garlic confit, soft herbs and good quality salted butter, this garlic butter transforms even the simplest meals into something rich, silky and full of flavour.

The Best Homemade Garlic Butter

garlic bulbs

butter ((120 grams))

herbs (parsley, rosemary, chives, sage (optional))

salt and pepper

Roast garlic: Preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F

Bake garlic: Using a sharp knife, slice the top off the garlic bulbs, about 2 – 3 cm down from the top to expose the raw cloves. Place the bulbs of garlic into the centre of an oven proof dish, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 1 hour.

Remove garlic cloves: Take the dish out of the oven and remove the garlic from the dish and set to the side. Allow to slightly cool until you are able to handle it. Using your fingers, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skin.

Blend butter: Place the garlic cloves, butter, herbs if using and pinch of salt and pepper into a food processor and blend. Alternatively, everything can be mashed together with a fork in a large bowl.

Store: Roll the garlic butter into a log using baking paper, secure the ends, and keep it in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months. Slice off rounds as needed.

The best roasted garlic mashed potatoes - perfect for any main entree! Made with garlic confit, herbs, and loads of butter!

The Best Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes (video)

olive oil (or avocado oil)

lbs Yukon Gold potatoes

tbsp chicken bouillon ((Better Than Bouillon Roasted Chicken Flavor))

tbsp sea salt

milk

butter

parsley (finely chopped)

tbsp butter (for garnish)

Peel the garlic cloves and drop them into a very small saucepan. Pour just enough olive oil to cover the garlic cloves completely.

Add a few sprigs of fresh thyme and fresh rosemary to the pot.

 Heat the garlic and oil over medium heat until simmering. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting possible and slowly cook the garlic for about 30 to 45 minutes, until the cloves are very soft and golden in color.

Remove the garlic confit from the heat and set it aside to cool.

Making Garlic Confit:

With the garlic cloves cooking, we can start on the potatoes. Peel the potatoes, remove all skin, and drop the peeled potatoes into a large pot of cool water.

Once all the potatoes have been peeled, drain the dirty water from the pot and refill it with clean water.

Cube the potatoes into 1 to 1 ½-inch cubes and drop them back into the water. Try to keep the cubes evenly sized for even cooking.  

To the cubed potatoes, add the chicken bouillon and season the water very generously with salt, about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons.

Preparing the Potatoes:

Cook the potatoes over high heat, bringing the water to a boil. Set a timer for 15 minutes; actual cooking time may vary by a few minutes.

Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender and a knife easily slides through a cube of potato. Drain the potatoes completely once they are cooked.

While the potatoes are cooking, combine milk, butter, and a few sprigs of fresh thyme in a separate saucepan. Heat the mixture just until the butter is melted, then remove from the heat and keep warm.

Cooking the Potatoes:

Use a slotted spoon or fork to lift the softened garlic cloves out of the olive oil and onto a small plate. Use a fork to mash the garlic cloves into a paste, then add to the drained potatoes.
