Garlic confit is a great condiment to have on hand all the time. It is garlic infused oil that goes well with bread, pasta, salad, proteins, you name it, but with delicious garlic cloves for topping. Mash the garlic on a piece of toasted bread and drizzle the oil over it, and it’s a beautiful simple snack. Blend the garlic confit and you are ready to toss cooked pasta in it. The possibilities are endless! If you find some pretty glass jars, garlic confit makes a great gift as well!
Try different herbs in the garlic confit for a variety of flavors. Since the extra virgin olive oil makes up a good part of the recipe, use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
Garlic 2 heads
Rosemary 1 sprig
Árbol Chile 1 (optional)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 - 1 1/2 cup
Peel the garlic.
In a small saucepan, combine peeled garlic cloves, rosemary sprig and crushed árbol chile. Pour just enough extra virgin olive oil to cover the garlic cloves. Place the saucepan over low heat and cook for 45 min. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Insert a fork into a garlic clove, it is done when it is soft and buttery. Transfer the garlic cloves and oil into the glass jar with a lid. It will stay in the refrigerator for a month.
