Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Vegetables

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup canola oil
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cups garlic cloves
1 fresh bay leaf or 2 dried bay leaves
8 to 10 sprigs fresh thyme
Coarse salt
Whole black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix together canola and olive oil; set aside.
  • Place garlic cloves in an ovenproof heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch-oven with a lid. Add bay leaf, a scant tablespoon salt, and peppercorns. Add enough of the oil mixture to barely cover.
  • Cover pan and transfer to oven. Cook until garlic is pale golden and very tender, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic cloves to a cutting board or the bowl of a small food processor, reserving oil; finely chop or process until pureed. Transfer to a bowl and add just enough reserved oil to cover. Keep refrigerated, up to 3 days.

I'm not sure why this recipe has so many good reviews. I found it to be a complete failure.

This recipe is a waste of time. The puree was watery and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my puree turned out gritty. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The puree was a bit bland for my liking. I would have liked it to have more of a garlicky flavor.

I found that this puree was a bit too strong for my taste. I would recommend using less garlic next time.

I'm not a huge fan of garlic, but this puree was surprisingly good. It was mild and flavorful, without being overpowering.

I love the texture of this puree. It's smooth and creamy, but still has a bit of a bite to it.

This garlic puree is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. I can just grab a spoonful and add it to whatever I'm cooking.

This puree is a great way to add garlic flavor to dishes without having to chop or mince a bunch of cloves.

I love that this recipe uses roasted garlic. It gives the puree a wonderfully rich and smoky flavor.

So easy to make and adds so much flavor to any dish. I've been using it on everything from pasta to chicken to vegetables.

This garlic puree was a game-changer for my pasta dishes! It added a depth of flavor that I couldn't get from minced garlic alone.
