Confit garlic is a really useful ingredient to have on hand. Great for garlic mayo, hummus & roast potatoes. It’s quick & easy to make. Here’s how…
Servings: 2 Bulbs + Oil
Equipment
- Medium Sized Saucepan
Ingredients
- 2 Bulbs Garlic
- 400 g Olive Oil
Instructions
- Peel garlic then place the cloves into a saucepan.
- Pour over the oil, making sure that the garlic is completely covered.
- Place the garlic in a stove over a low heat & cook gently until the garlic is soft, roughly 30-45 minutes.Alternatively, cook in an oven set to 90°c for 1-2 hours.
- Leave to cool completely before placing both the oil & garlic into a sterilised jar.
Notes
If you want to take the flavour of the oil a step further, throw in some fresh rosemary & thyme in with the garlic before cooking.
The garlic cloves need to be completely submerged in oil. You might need more than 400g of oil.
Stored in the fridge, confit garlic will last for several weeks.
