Garlic confit - voiceover

Ingredients

• 30 cloves Garlic Cloves (peeled, from about 2 heads of garlic)
• 500 ml Olive Oil (extra virgin, enough to fully submerge garlic)
• 1 sprig Rosemary (optional, adds aromatic flavor)
• 1 sprig Thyme (optional, adds aromatic flavor)
• 1 tsp Black Peppercorns (optional, lightly crushed)

Instructions

1. Peel Garlic Cloves

   Place the whole garlic cloves in a heat‑proof bowl, pour boiling water over them, let sit for 5 minutes, then squeeze or pinch each clove to slide the skin off.

   Time: PT5M

2. Submerge Garlic in Olive Oil

   Transfer the peeled cloves to an oven‑proof dish, pour olive oil over until the cloves are completely covered, and add the rosemary sprig, thyme sprig, and crushed peppercorns if using.

   Time: PT5M

3. Bake Garlic Confit

   Place the dish in a pre‑heated oven at 120°C and bake for 2 hours. A gentle bubble should appear in the oil as the garlic softens.

4. Cool and Transfer

   Remove the dish from the oven, let it cool slightly, then transfer the garlic and oil into a sterilized glass jar, seal tightly, and refrigerate.

   Time: PT10M

5. Serve and Use

   Use the soft, buttery garlic and infused oil in any recipe that calls for garlic or oil. Keep refrigerated and consume within several days; double or triple the batch for larger needs.
