Confit Garlic is nothing but garlic cloves slow cooked in oil along with herbs. This is a fool proof recipe for a flavourful condiment that can be added to lot of dishes, spread, salad and butter or just have it along with some rustic bread. Confit Garlic is a simple yet a flavourful condiment that should always be there in the refrigerator :) and it makes the perfect gift too.
Ingredients
  • 3 bulbs - Garlic
  • 1 tsp - Salt
  • 1 tbsp - Black Pepper
  • Olive oil
  • Herb of your Choice - Thyme, Rosemary, Sage
Instructions
  1. Separate the garlic cloves and leave a thin film of peel on it.

  4. Add enough oil to just cover the garlic cloves.
  5. Place the saucepan on the smallest burner on low and let it simmer.
  6. Let the oil just simmer and not boil for 45 mins or till the garlic is soft and cooked evenly.
  7. Let it cool.
  8. Pour the content into an airtight jar and refrigerate.
  9. I served it with some baguette and some sour cream and wine. Makes a perfect nibble.
