garlic confit recipe

Garlic confit may sound fancy but it is super simple to make. In 45 minutes cloves of garlic go from pungent to silky, spreadable, sweet, caramel garlic cloves by gently heating them in olive oil.

Garlic Confit

garlic (Approximately 45 cloves, 6 ounces)

extra Virgin Olive Oil

If using fresh bulbs of garlic, separate the cloves and peel the skin off of the cloves. If using pre-peeled garlic check for bruised cloves and remove them. Removing the root end is optional but know it won't soften like the rest of the garlic cloves.

In a clean saucepan, place the garlic and cover with olive oil.

Heat the oil over medium low to low heat.

Do not bring the oil to a simmer. Keep on low for 45 minutes, string every 15 minutes to check for the garlic to take on a golden brown color. 

Remove from the heat and cool immediately.

Transfer to a clean, closed container and store in the refrigerator for up to a month.

Place garlic cloves, leeks, jalapenos and cherries into shallow baking dish. Use enough olive oil so everything is totally covered.
