In my Susan Spicer cookbook, Crescent City Cooking, she calls for her galic confit in her white bean hummus recipe. I usually just cheat and blitz raw garlic in the food processor along w/ the other ingredients. It still tastes good, but I'm sure it was missing that roasted garlic flavor. So, I still wanted to try it the right way. So, I prepared the confit Sunday afternoon while I was reorganizing my master closet.
You start with garlic, olive oil, white wine, bit of water, and some herbs. (I didn't have fresh, so I had to use jar thyme.) :( Simmer on the stove for about an hour until it looks roasty-toasty-yummy.
Strain the garlic from the oil, separate, and refrigerate. You'll need to bring the olive oil back to room temp before use, but it sure smelled GOOD! I plan on making the white bean hummus this week and will report back! :)
Food 'sparks' conversation, debate, excursions, passion, therapy, etc. Cooking, dining, foodie(ism), pinching pennies, home decorating, traveling...a bit of everything is here. Most all of the photos on this blog are taken via my cell phone - b/c I like to blog on the go! In most cases, the pics can be clicked on to enlarge.
