How to Prepare Homemade Garlic Oil
The best aspect is that it tastes fantastic and transforms a variety of foods. Nearly all of our savory meals include garlic. Only lately did I learn about garlic oil, a great new method to add more flavor to your food while reaping the many health benefits of garlic.
Ingredients to Prepare Homemade Garlic Oil
Anyone can learn how to make garlic oil. It requires minimal tools and ingredients.- a good quality head of garlic
- 16 ounces or 2 cups of one of your favorite cooking oils (I used olive oil).
- The tools you will need are a heavy-bottomed pot or saucepan, a stove, a timer, and a cooking thermometer.
- You will also need a sterilized glass container to store it in.
How To Prepare Homemade Garlic Oil
First, divide the head of garlic into separate cloves.
Place the pot or saucepan over the gas range, then set the heat to medium-low.
Maintain the temperature to let the garlic and oil sizzle together without the garlic quickly browning from 15 minutes to half an hour, depending on how strong you want the garlic flavor to be.
Once you have cooked the garlic oil to the desired level, turn off the heat and remove the pieces of garlic using a small metal strainer. After all of the traces of solid garlic have been removed, cover the pot or pan to keep dust from getting into the oil and set aside to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer the oil into a sterilized glass jar with an airtight lid. Keep the oil on a cool shelf far from direct sunlight and discard excess after 14 days, or once the oil smells rancid.
How To Use Garlic Oil
A versatile condiment, garlic oil can be added to bread, soups, stews, and salad dressings as well as used as a marinade for meat and vegetables.
