Garlic Oil

Take peeled garlic cloves. Put them in a pot. Add a light oil like grapeseed or vegetable oil until they are covered with 1 inch of oil above them. Cook over low heat for about 90 minutes or until the garlic gets brown and toasty. Some of it will start to float as well. Let it cool for about an hour or so. Now use a collander or strainer to the garlic cloves from the oil. Save the oil. It’s pure gold. You now have garlic oil that you can use to cook basically everything savory and you have garlic which you can use for anything that calls for garlic. You can eat this garlic as-is and it’s tasty. I add fresh cracked black pepper to mine at the beginning. After you separate the garlic from the oil, blend it and refrigerate it. Use it for things like soups, salad dressings, eggs, grits, sauces etc.
