Sounds fancy, but Garlic Confit is an easy, delicious, and classic French cooking technique. I won't bore you with a very long back story, but something new I
learned was this technique. It involves submerging and cooking food in fat/butter/oil over low heat for a
long time, and it should not be confused with "frying."
It's simple to make, it will elevate any of your dishes and you automatically have garlic-infused oil to cook
with. If you're still unsure when you can use it, because sometimes recipes won't specially ask for garlic confit, it's a very complimenting ingredient.
I love using it for my vegetables, it will level up your chicken/lamb roast/steak game, you can add it to soups, you can also drizzle the oil on pizza, mix it into your hummus, or into a dip, on smash potatoes, or use it as a delicious baguette spread.
I personally love pureeing a bit of it with some extra ingredients and having it as a delicious drizzle for my avo on toast - be sure to follow my Instagram, I will be sharing this quick recipe soon.
