My Secret Ingredient: Garlic Confit

To make confit, garlic cloves are roasted while submerged in a bath of olive oil together with thyme branches and bay leaves

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound peeled garlic cloves
  • 12 thyme branches
  • 3 bay leaves
  • about 2 cups of olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 350F.
  • Place the bay leaves in the bottom of a small baking dish. Arrange the thyme branches on top of the bay leaves. Then arrange the peeled garlic cloves on top of the thyme. Pour olive oil on top to cover, about 2 cups or so.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes, until the cloves are soft and starting to color. Let cool, the carefully decant into a jar. Keep it refrigerated.
