Garlic, Herbs and Olive Oil

GarlicHerb.jpg

One of the easiest things to do is to bake heads of garlic and bunches of herbs in olive oil. This is an easy “recipe” that I keep in the refrigerator and use all week. Spread the caramelized garlic on a crusty loaf of bread, use the oil to fry eggs in the morning or incorporate the oil and garlic into Sunday dinner mashed potatoes — the options are endless. Easy.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 heads of garlic

  • 1 1/2 cups of Cut1886 olive oil

  • Fresh herbs — thyme, oregano, basil, rosemary, peppercorns and/or bay leaf

Peel garlic. Put into ovenproof pan (I use small loaf pans) with herbs. Add in olive oil and bake for 60 to 80 minutes in a 250 degree oven. The smell alone is heaven.
