Oil-Poached-Garlic Puree and Roasted-Garlic Oil image

This process for preparing garlic yields two culinary treasures; a rich-tasting puree that can be enjoyed on it's own or used as a cooking ingredient as well as an infused oil. Serving size is indicated in the directions for both puree and infused oil. From the book "EatingWell in Season" and posted for ZWT5.

Time 2h45m

Yield 2 cups oil, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large heads of garlic, cloves separated, unpeeled
4 cups water
1 1/2 cups canola oil
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

Steps:

  • Bring 4 cups of water to boil in a medium saucepan.
  • Remove from the heat, add the separated but unpeeled cloves of 4 heads of garlic, stir to submerge the cloves, cover and let sit until the garlic skins are softened and cool enough to handle, about 50 minutes.
  • Strain the garlic, discarding the water, remove the skins and cut off the hard nub where the clove was attached to the head.
  • Place the garlic, canola oil and EVOO in a medium saucepan; bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
  • Reduce the heat to low and maintain a very gentle simmer (it may be necessary to slide the pan to the edge of the burner). Simmer until the cloves are golden and very soft when pressed with a fork, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooled garlic to a sieve to drain, reserving the oil. Transfer the garlic to a food processor and puree until smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally. Store the puree and the oil separately in the refrigerator.
  • NOTE: makes 1/2 to 2/3 cup puree (depending on the size of the garlic) and 2 cups garlic-infused oil.
