With viral sensations endlessly trending and new cooking tricks constantly coming to light, there’s one hack that has become a fan-favourite: confit garlic! A French technique, confit refers to cooking a preserved food in fat, slowly and at a lower temperature. As April is National Garlic Month, there’s no better time to test out this confit technique, alongside Mazola!
Not only is confit garlic a resourceful way to prevent garlic from being tossed, but it also tends to mellow the somewhat powerful and intense flavour that garlic is known for. Additionally, confit garlic also serves as a wonderful and elevated addition to any food, the perfect summertime hack for last-minute hosting soirées. Below are some fan-favourite, low-maintenance ways to serve confit garlic:
- Alongside roasted tomatoes and fresh mozzarella
- As a topping on your favourite pizza
- Whipped into butter to spread on toast
- Served alongside freshly grilled potatoes and roasted vegetables
- Tossed into homemade soups, sauces and vinaigrettes
- As a spread on a charcuterie board
