Garlic Confit

Combine the garlic cloves, olive oil, and herbs in a small but deep saucepan, so that the garlic is submerged under the oil (use more oil if needed).

Heat over medium until simmering, then reduce to low. The oil should still be simmering very lightly, but not boiling. Let cook for about 30 minutes until the garlic is completely soft.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly, discard the herbs. Transfer the confit to a glass jar or ceramic container. Enjoy immediately, or store in the fridge, tightly sealed, for up to 4 months.
