If you like garlic as much as I do, you have to try to make this homemade garlic confit.  It’s garlicky, soft, oily and herby.  It’s the perfect ingredient for pretty much everything and anything! Make homemade garlic and herb butter, add it to a sauce or salad, or just eat it plain on a fresh slice of bread.  The options are endless, the taste is perfection and best of all, it’s easy to make.  Let me show you how.

Keep garlic confit ingredients simple

To get started, I highly recommend purchasing peeled garlic gloves unless you do not mind sitting for hours peeling them by hand.

In a deep heat safe dish, pour in the peeled garlic cloves.  Add some fresh rosemary steams and sage leaves and submerge everything in extra virgin olive oil.

Dad’s Seasonings

Must have grillin seasonings!

Time to get the grill going.

Preheat the grill or oven to 250 degrees and set it for indirect heat. Cook the garlic confit for about 2 hours or until the garlic cloves are soft.

Transfer the cooked garlic along with the oil and herbs into a mason jar, close tightly and store in the refrigerator.  This will preserve the freshness for weeks or even months. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make this in the oven stove top?

All my recipes can be replicated in the oven, stove top or gas grill. You do not need a big green egg or weber grill to replicate any of my recipes. However you will not get the natural smoke flavor you from a smoker or charcoal grill.
