Recipe review Confit Garlic & Garlic Oil - Keep it Simple

[jeninwa]

As the title of the book says, this is so simple, the most time consuming was peeling the garlic. I bought some local garlic at the growers market this morning with this recipe in mind. I used 310 g evoo as that was all I had left, the smaller cloves broke down as it cooked so doesn't look as good as the photo in the book. It has a lovely sweet taste, there was a small amount that didn't fit in the jars, instead of wasting it I'm going to make some Caesar salad dressing.

Thanks for the review.  I can't wait for my book to arrive this week.

Thanks Jeninwa. I can't wait to start cooking from it.

I made this today and as Jen said, it's very easy.
Loved the smell through the house when I was making it, but I do love garlic. I also had some oil left over, which I've put into another jar and will use as garlic oil when cooking.

I haven't tasted if yet, but I'm sure it will be wonderful.

I'll give one if the jars to my SIL in her Xmas hamper.

I have seen peeled garlic sold by the kilo. Next time. I see it I will make it though I really don't mind peeling garlic. It could be peeled in the TMX but it breaks up some cloves .
Thanks girls.

I don't think some broken cloves would matter as Jeninwa points out they get a bit broken up during cooking anyway (the photo in KIS looks as if a few cloves are smushed a bit). It doesn't matter, you can't taste shapes 😉

Have ordered my book (one for DD, too) but they won't arrive until after Christmas. If someone has the time and they could pm me the recipe/instructions for this, I'd really appreciate it . .!

Goldfish, I will PM you.

I'm really trying hard not to purchase this book but all these reviews are making it very hard.

tell me about it!! Lol.  So it was one for me and one for DD!  Somehow, I don't think you'll regret it, Wonder!

This is required for quite a few recipes so I made up a batch tonight. I used 6 heads and 310g oil.

Looks good CP. Sticky noted in my book.

Good one Jen . I had large Tassie cloves but as you say the few tiny ones broke down in the cooking and I could have strained them out but why bother

I used 4 large cloves and enough EVOO to cover in bowl, about 275gms.
