Notes
Melissa's Modifications:If you have stored in the fridge, when ready to use, bring out and allow the confit to come to room temperature, or you can warm in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. The Garlic Confit is a wonderful spread for a crusty bread as an hors d'oeuvres. Try using other herbs for different flavoring - Rosemary, Thyme.Alternatively, for a quicker cooking method is to combined all ingredients in a saucepan on low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until garlic is tender and slightly browned, about 30 min. Remove from heat and let cool completely.Nutritional Value: 1 serving = 1 Tbsp with oil: 142 Calories; 7 g Carbs; 13 g Fat; 4 mg Sodium; 2 g Saturated Fat
