Garlic is one of my favorite ingredients of all time. In certain instances it can be very strong. Confit is the perfect way to tone down the strongness and keep the garlic goodness we all love. Confit means cooked in its own fat. Since garlic doesn't have its own fat, cook it in vegetable oil. Take twenty cloves of garlic, peeling them and cutting the nubs off the ends. Place in a medium saucepan and cover with vegetable oil. Bring to barely a simmer and keep it that way for about 40 minutes. You do not want this to boil or get to a strong simmer, the key is low and slow. The garlic will be very soft and the flavor will be incredible! Use in anything you would use garlic in for a sweeter garlic flavor.
