Baked Candied Garlic Preserve

OVEN-BAKED CONFIT GARLIC PRESERVE 🧄❤️‍🔥 #sinajoespostre

The best dressing for creams and stews, with flavorful yet mild garlic, hahaha

➡️ Recipe to make in bulk and store for at least 3 months in the refrigerator. Ideal for taking out garlic as you need it for your recipes. You can use the garlic and also the infused oil, which is simply to die for!

And especially if you're not a fan of the strong taste of raw garlic but love flavorful food, this is the way! 💥💘

The confit technique involves submerging food in fat, usually olive oil, letting it cook at a low temperature, and then preserving the preparation in the same oil. With this cooking technique, we enhance the flavor of the products, which cook without losing their juices, while maintaining a tender texture.

TIP: It's extremely important to choose a good olive oil. I use my Premium Blend from @olaveoliveoils 🌿 when making a good confit. The quality of the product we are confiting is as important as the oil we are using. Therefore, choosing a good olive oil, even better if it's extra virgin olive oil, greatly impacts the final result.

Step-by-step: simply submerge the food you want to confit (it can be mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, eggplants) in olive oil in an oven-safe dish, then bake at 50 degrees Celsius for 1 hour 30 minutes or until tender.

You can bake it with a sprig of thyme or rosemary.

Then, place the confit garlic and hot oil in a glass jar and seal it. Wait for it to cool and refrigerate for up to 3 months.
