Olive Oil Roasted Garlic Confit

Slow cooking garlic transforms the pungent cloves into mellow, buttery and soft. Toss them into pasta sauces or smear on chicken ready for roasting or a piece of toasted bread. The oil can also be used in pasta salads, as this CousCous Salad from 1Kitchen. 

These jars will keep for months – just remember to top off with fresh olive oil after each use to keep cloves submerged. They also make great gifts!
