Recipe review Confit Garlic & Garlic Oil - Keep it Simple

[jeninwa]

Better  do it so before the garlic grows scapes though garlic scapes  are a  treat.

Gert

What are garlic scapes please Gert?

I think it's the green bits that grow in the cloves when garlic is left unused.

It's the first time I made this,followed the recipe exactly but ended up with a purée instead of whole cloves of garlic.
When it finished it's cooking I lined a sieve with butter muslin and carefully strained it.Put the purée in one jar and the garlic oil in another.
Oh well I will just use it by the teaspoonful

It will still do the job Denise.

I have actually run out of this. I love it. Even DH was into using the oil as he thought it had a lovely flavour for fish etc. He is the chief fish cooker in this family. Over 40 years ago I wrecked some fish and now he cooks it, no complaints from me.

It pays to mess things up occasionally then Cookie

CC the same thing happened to me on the weekend, I've made it once before with no problems so not sure what happened but as you said we can use it by the teaspoon 😉

I'm so pleased to hear that you had the same problem too Kerry I thought it was "operator error" ie ME

[kmw]

I know CC its nice to know we aren't alone 

[JulieO]

No you aren't alone.  Happened to me too so I just spoon it out. 

[judydawn]

It just saves the chopping step girls - perhaps you could call it confit of garlic paste 

[cookie1]

A new recipe.

I made this again today.Ended up with garlic puree again. I might do as Karen suggested and buy peeled garlic next time.
