Trooper and I have been emailing about the confit cooking method. I've been doing my garlic like this for years, and figured I'd pass it along if anyone wants a new way to end up with roasted garlic cloves with a bonus of a ton of leftover garlic flavored oil.
Peel an entire head of garlic. Place in small sauce pan, and cover with extra virgin olive oil. Or whatever oil you would like.
Bring to a bare simmer, and cook until the garlic is nicely browned.
As soon as the garlic is browned, strain the oil into a bowl or the garlic will burn in the hot oil.
The oil that's left can be used to brush on garlic bread, pizza crust, in marinara, or anywhere you want a roasted garlic flavor.
