Garlic can be a lot of things — sharp and spicy when raw, intensely flavored when chopped and sautéed, or in the case of this garlic confit, rich and mellow.
If you’re a garlic lover, then this recipe is one you should try right now. It’s super easy, requires 2 ingredients, and turns a bulb of garlic into mouthwatering, buttery goodness that you can put on literally anything. You can use olive or even avocado oil for this (which has it’s advantages — hello garlic flavored oil!) but I like to use butter. Butter and garlic are such a ridiculously good combination — the smell alone of this heady combo wafting through the kitchen as it simmers is enough to put you in a food coma. Make sure to cook this on low heat — high heat will burn both the butter and the garlic.
So what can you use this for? Well, again, literally anything you might put garlic on. Like:
- Puree with some parsley and salt and spread on fresh bread — bake if you feel fancy
- Blend into a salad dressing
- Chop and add to tuna or chicken salad
- Smash into a paste and spread on a sandwich
- Slice and add to a pizza
- Puree the garlic with the butter for a magic buttery spread
Make sure you store in a clean jar in the fridge and use as quickly as possible.
