Important Notes
Do not discard the oil after cooking; it is infused with rich garlic flavor and is excellent for cooking steaks, roasting vegetables, or mixing into vinaigrettes.
You can use other fats for confit, such as beef tallow or butter, to encapsulate the moisture and slow cook.
Ensure the garlic does not get too dark during cooking, as dark roasted garlic will taste bitter.
