Ingredients

  • 1½ cups olive oil
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Cook garlic mixture: Add the peeled garlic cloves, olive oil and fresh rosemary to a small saucepan and cook over low heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring every few minutes. The garlic confit is ready when the garlic is tender and cooked through.
  • Finish and store: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cloves to a jar, and pour the oil on top. If not using immediately, close the lid and and place in the refrigerator. It should last about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Notes

  1. Try using thyme springs or a bay leaf instead of the rosemary.
  2. Never store garlic confit at room temperature.
  3. Remove the garlic from the fridge and bring it to room temperature before using as the oil will solidify in the fridge.
  4. In addition to using the cloves, the oil can also be used for drizzling over breads/rolls or salads.
