And that’s it! Let us know how you like to serve your garlic confit and what you think in the comments below. You can use the jar in two ways. Mash the tender garlic onto crusty bread as an appetizer or add it to pizza and pasta. Or, or use the infused oil for cooking: add it to pizza sauce, vinaigrettes, or for sautéing. Let’s get cooking! The most popular confit is duck confit, which cooks in its own rendered fat. You can also making confit with vegetables like tomato confit. For garlic confit, oil is added so that it cooks low and slow, bringing out a nuanced, mellow garlic flavor.
Peel the garlic cloves. This takes quite a while, but the effort is worth it. (For a shortcut, you can try submerging the cloves in hot water for 15 seconds until the skins peel easily, or this stand mixer method.) Add oil. Place the garlic in a small saucepan and add olive oil until it just covers the garlic. If desired, add a few sprigs of fresh thyme, rosemary, oregano or sage. Cook on low for 1 ½ hours. Heat over low heat, reducing the heat to very low once you see bubbles appearing (but do not simmer!). Cook until the garlic turns golden brown, about 1 ½ hours. Enjoy or store. Remove the herbs. You can eat immediately or store for later use!
