Servings: Makes about 1 cup
Ingredients
  • 2 cups olive oil
  • 1 cup peeled cloves garlic (about 45 cloves), bottom end trimmed
  • Directions
    Add oil and garlic to a pot. Oil should cover garlic—if not, use a smaller pot or add extra oil. Over low heat, gently cook, stirring every 10 minutes, until garlic is golden but not browned, about 1 hour.

    Cool in pan. Transfer to a container; store in refrigerator (with garlic submerged in oil) for up to 1 month.

    Note: The oil is also great for salad dressings and sautéing.
