Confit Garlic Paste
To serve as many as required.
INGREDIENTS
Garlic - as much as required
Oil - as much as required
INSTRUCTIONS
1. First, peel the Garlic*
*use as much garlic as you like, but you probably don’t want to use less than around 4-5 bulbs
2. Roughly chop the Garlic, fairly coarsely.
3. Add the Garlic to a Saucepan.
4. Pour in enough Oil to just cover the Garlic*
*the oil you use is entirely up to you
5. Bring the Garlic up to a very gentle simmer.
6. Simmer the Garlic on a very low heat for around an hour, stirring every few minutes.
7.Simmer the Garlic until it is soft and it will turn a slightly darker shade of colour, but we don’t want any real colour on them so keep the heat low.
8. Once the Garlic is really soft, drain off the Oil*
*you can keep the Oil, it will effectively be a nice garlic oil, or, you can use it to store the confit garlic paste
