What Is Garlic Confit?

Confit is a cooking method for slowly cooking ingredients in oil. Garlic confit is made by cooking fresh garlic in oil until it gets tender.

You can infuse oil and garlic with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme.

How To Peel Garlic?

There are several practical ways to peel garlic. One of them is to buy pre-peeled ready-made garlic. Or, you can peel the garlic using a container. For this, cut the ends of the garlic with a knife. Then put it in the glass jar and close the lid. With the lid closed, shake the jar vigorously for 30 seconds. This will separate the skins of the garlic. You can peel off the remaining shells with your hands.
