Equipment
- Small skillet or small pot
- Chef's knife
- Coffee filter or mesh bag
Ingredients
- 1 cup of your best olive oil divided
- 20 large garlic cloves peeled and smashed to smithereens
Instructions
- Warm one tablespoon of oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and sauté until just softened. Lower the heat to the lowest setting.
- Add the remaining oil and keep warm for 45 minutes. Small bubbles may appear around the garlic, but this should be more of an oil bath for the garlic. If the garlic begins to simmer, remove from the heat to cool before rewarming. This can cause the garlic oil to be bitter.
- Strain the oil into a jar using a coffee filter or a mesh bag.
- Label and store for up to three weeks in the refrigerator or one week on the counter at room temperature.
