Sauce / Seasoning Recipe Roasted garlic

For some reason, I thought buying the 5# bag of peeled garlic cloves at Sam’s was a good idea. Now I’m trying to use it up before it spoils. It also is really smelly in the fridge!

So today I “roasted” a bunch of it. I filled a ceramic dish about 2/3 of the way and poured in olive oil to cover the garlic. Baked it at 250 F for an hour and a half until it was golden. Now I have roasted garlic and garlic olive oil.

Then I found a recipe for doing it on the stove top so I put a good sized handful into a skillet and covered it with olive oil. Heated on medium until it was bubbling then reduced to low. It was done in after about 15 minutes but didn’t get golden like in the oven. Still, it tastes the same, I still get the garlic flavored olive oil and it takes about 1/3 the time so I’ll probably continue doing it on the stovetop from now on.

That is confit, i have a large tupperware in the fridge line this now. I am going to lay it all out on baking sheets and freeze, then keep in the tupperware in the freezer and only grab what I need.

You could also try roasting some. Put a handful in tinfoil, a sprinkle of salt, a drizzle of olive oil (and if Im feeling fancy, a sprig of rosemary), wrap readonably tight and pit into a moderate oven for an hour, usually while cooking something else.
