Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6 Garlic bulbs, cloves peeled

• 2 Cups olive oil

• 2 Bay leaves

Directions:

1. Add the peels garlic to a sauce pan with the olive oil and bay leaves, ensuring that the cloves are covered by the oil.

2. Place the pan over medium-low heat until the oil starts a low, bubbling simmer. Then reduce the heat down to low, so that the simmering is reduced to a very low and subtle bubble (almost like a seltzer water).

3. Allow the garlic to cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once the cloves are golden, pour the oil and garlic into an airtight container or jar.

Storage: store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Enjoy!
