Garlic Confit Garlic Bread

Garlic Confit Garlic Bread

Start with a cup of Olive Oil (more may be needed to cover garlic cloves) and a pile of whole peeled garlic cloves with the ends trimmed. These go in a pot on the stove at a simmer for about 30 minutes. You'll know when they're done as they float to the top. Remove from heat and let cool to room temp.

Half of a stick of butter (it's melted in this picture but I've since learned that softened butter works better)

Remove the garlic cloves from the oil and reserve the oil for another time.
Add in some fresh chopped Parsley, some shredded Parmesan Cheese, the garlic cloves and some salt and pepper to taste.

Mix it all together to form a paste.

Turn on the broiler to low and spread the mix over some freshly sliced bread and put under the broiler for 5 to 7 minutes

Always make extra because you'll want to sample it before your meal!

The obligatory plated picture with homemade Mashed Potatoes and some Pork Riblets. (The pork riblets are a whole other story haha)

Wow KC!! That bread looks absolutely to die for. As much Italian food as we eat around here I could see myself making the mixture a quart at a time, keeping it in the fridge, and having it on hand at all times. I am impressed!!

I love doing compound butters and storing them in the freezer, so this I need to try! The confit and the bread look delicious. Would this freeze well?

 

[motocrash]

Killer. I've always roasted the garlic, have to try the oil. I'd imagine you could keep reusing the oil if stored properly...

I honestly don't know about freezing it.

The garlic definitely flavors the oil so the oil can be used for other things... don't see why you couldn't reuse the oil for another batch of garlic either.

Love the garlic confit idea. I’m going to have to whip up a batch.

 

[Nate52]

We buy these little pita dippers and spread them on there.

They can also be used pretty much anywhere you could use roasted garlic. We put them in mashed potatoes, pizza, and tossed salads.

But our all time favorite is a dip. We spread goat cheese in a shallow dish and top it with the garlic, sundried tomatoes, capers, and drizzle it with the olive oil. Warm it in the oven and die happy.

I wonder how long the oil would last?
