Garlic Confit – – Has anyone tried making garlic confit? I have made whole roasted garlic bulbs in the oven, that are delicious, but never prepared like this! Garlic Confit brings out the rich delicious flavor of the garlic and yummy spread on toasted crusty bread. Easy to make and lasts in the fridge for several months. (if it lasts that long)!
Confit is cooking term that describes a way of cooking any foods – slow and deliberate over a long period of time infusing and preserving flavors. The confit process is cooked in oil, grease or sugar water at a lower temperature.
In this recipe, the garlic cloves cook for 1.5 to 2 hrs on a low temperature in the oven. I used olive oil, bay leaves is a glass oven dish for 3hrs or until slightly browned and soft. We have been enjoying on toasted rolls, sandwiches and added to “Just Egg” Omelettes all week!
Great flavor and does not leave you with garlic breath!
