Garlic Confit Recipe
Learn how to make this simple garlic confit recipe of garlic cloves that are slowly roasted in oil until they are golden brown and soft.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh garlic cloves
- 1 ½ cups olive oil
Instructions
- Trim the root end of the garlic clove, leaving as much of the clove intact as possible.
- Add them to a small-sized saucepot and completely cover them in oil. It should cover the cloves by about a ½” to 1” inch.
- Simmer over the lowest heat setting as possible until the cloves are lightly golden brown and very soft, like roasted garlic. This can take up to 45 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature before using or storing.
Notes
Make-Ahead: You can make this 1 week ahead of time.
How to Store: For freshness, keep submerged in the oil and cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can freeze this submerged in oil and cover it for up to three months. Thaw it in the refrigerator for 1 day or until thawed before using.
How to Reheat: Add the desired amount of confit oil and garlic confit to a small-sized saucepot and heat over low heat until warm.
You can also use any confit fat that you may already have.
This is an even better replacement for roasted garlic. Use it in the exact same manner.
