Garlic Confit

This simple garlic confit is a versatile staple that transforms pungent raw cloves into mellow, buttery morsels. By gently poaching the garlic in high-quality olive oil, you create a rich condiment that adds a sophisticated depth to your cooking. This heart-healthy recipe is an excellent way to keep a flavour booster on hand, as the infused oil is just as precious as the softened cloves themselves.

Ideal for those who enjoy Mediterranean flavours, this preserve can be used to enrich mashed potatoes, stirred into pasta, or simply spread over crusty sourdough. Because it is prepared with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, it is a nutritious alternative to butter-based spreads. Keep a jar in your fridge to elevate quick weekday meals with minimal effort.
