This is a delicious ingredient to have in your store cupboard. It's easy to make, with ingredients you probably have lying around. It may damage your social life, but it is worth it. I add it to dips, stews and pasta sauces —Canalcook

I love garlic confit. I buy the three-pound bags of peeled garlic cloves at Sam's and poach them in olive oil on the stove until they're soft. Then I pack them in plastic bowls, covered with the oil, in the fridge or freezer. I use garlic confit in place of fresh garlic in almost every recipe that calls for it.
