Confit Garlic: The Liquid Gold of our Kitchen

Is there a better way to start 2022 than with a great recipe for a jar of confit garlic? We don't think so!

Poaching garlic in oil gives you the most versatile, soft, and silky condiment. You get jammy cloves and rich, velvety oil, otherwise known as liquid gold.

We always keep a jar o confit garlic in our fridge for when we need a quick flavor boost in our recipes.

  2. Cook for 40 - 45 minutes or until the garlic cloves are soft.
  3. While the garlic and oil are hot, transfer to a sterilized glass jar, seal and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
