garlic confit

Oil-submerged allium

Garlic confit is garlic cloves slow-cooked in oil until soft and mellow.

The low, gentle heat transforms raw garlic's sharp bite into something sweet and spreadable.

The infused oil becomes a cooking ingredient itself: She drizzled the garlic confit oil over the pasta.

Confit traditionally means preserved in fat.
