It is a shaggy dog story. I used to be within the kitchen with Adisson, who helps me within the bakery and I used to be exhibiting him the images of probably the most just lately made duck confit. He requested me have you ever ever made duck confit and I stated I made roasted garlic however not confit. He requested if I had garlic and stated “let’s go.” He’s sixteen and fairly the cook dinner himself.
We rapidly regarded up a couple of recipes and made garlic confit. They he and the boys ate almost a loaf of sourdough bread with the softened garlic. You’ll be able to name {that a} good day.

Since then, I considered of a manner to enhance that first go round. However earlier than I get into that permit’s reply a couple of questions on garlic confit.

Use contemporary complete garlic heads for this recipe (or any recipe). Pre-peeled garlic goes rancid rapidly.
