Instructions
Prepare the Garlic and Rosemary:
Peel the garlic cloves if not already peeled.
Rinse the rosemary sprigs and pat them dry.
Combine Ingredients:
Place the peeled garlic cloves in a small saucepan or oven-safe dish.
Add the rosemary sprigs on top of the garlic.
Pour the olive oil over the garlic and rosemary, ensuring the garlic cloves are completely submerged.
Sprinkle the sea salt over the top.
Cook the Confit:
Stovetop Method: Place the saucepan over the lowest heat setting on your stove. Cook for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the garlic is tender and can be easily pierced with a fork. Make sure the oil stays at a gentle simmer and does not boil.
Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Place the dish with the garlic and oil in the oven and bake for about 1 to 1.5 hours, until the garlic is tender.
Cool and Store:
Remove the saucepan or dish from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer the garlic, rosemary, and oil to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Ensure the garlic is fully submerged in the oil.
Store the garlic confit in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
• Use the garlic confit as a spread on bread, mix it into pasta, or add it to your favorite dishes for a rich, roasted garlic flavor.
