| Hello Friends, I have been wanting to learn how to make garlic confit since April, when I tasted the sweet caramelized cloves on a pizza at Rose Pizzeria in Berkeley. I am a garlic lover and don't mind any amount of raw garlic, but I loved the mellow garlic flavor the confited cloves infused in this particular pie. It turns out garlic confit is shockingly easy to make. Place 1.5 cups of garlic cloves in a pot and cover with 1 cup of extra-virgin olive oil: Cover the pot and place in a 250ºF oven for 2 hours: Uncover to find a pot of sizzling, buttery-soft cloves: I have already enjoyed the cloves on a pizza (see below), and this weekend, today in fact, I'm trying my hand at focaccia dimpled with garlic confit and rosemary. I will report back if it's a success. Friends, I'm wishing you all a Happy Fourth 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Next week, if you're entertaining, here are a few ideas, and find a few favorites below.
