ANDRE BARANOWSKI

Garlic confit, a silky, spreadable condiment, relies on a French technique for gently poaching peeled whole cloves in oil or fat. The process caramelizes the cloves and concentrates their sweetness while infusing them with the oil or fat that renders them rich and creamy

Ingredients

  • 2 cups canola oil, lard, or rendered chicken or duck fat
  • 1 cup garlic cloves, peeled
