Slow Roasted Garlic …or Garlic Confit

There are dozens of uses for this sweet & savory slow roasted garlic.  To name a few… Spread it on toasted crusty bread.  Use it as a condiment on a sandwich or burger.  Add it to salads or salad dressings.  Use it to add richness to a sauce, stew or soup.  But, my personal favorite… Toss garlic and a little bit of the oil with pasta, shreds of Parmigiano Reggiano and freshly ground pepper for an instant meal.

Garlic Confit

1 cup garlic cloves, peeled
olive oil, to cover

Place garlic cloves in a ramekin and cover with olive oil.  Cover with a lid and place in a 300 degree oven for 1 hour.

(Or, until all garlic cloves are a lovely golden brown)
