Ingredients
- 3 heads of garlic 40 cloves
- ¾ cup pure olive oil
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil*
- 3 small bay leaves
- 2 sprigs fresh oregano
Instructions
- Peel and trim root ends of garlic cloves.
- Combine garlic, olive oils, bay leaves and oregano in a saucepan over low heat. Bring to a low simmer and cook until garlic is tender and just slightly browned, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Serve with crusty bread and flaky sea salt, or pour garlic and oil mixture into an airtight glass container, seal and refrigerate for up to 4 months.
- When ready to use, let mixture come to room temperature for 1 hour before using, or warm in the microwave for 20–30 seconds.
Notes
* I like to use just a 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil for an added boost of flavor. However, this is not necessary. You can definitely use 1 cup pure olive oil.
