55 min
10 min prep
45 min cook

Serves 10

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Peeled Garlic Cloves, peeled and ends trimmed
  • 4 Thyme, sprigs
  • 1/2 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes, plus more as needed for heat
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus more as needed to cover garlic

Instructions

  1. In a smaller stainless steel pot or Dutch oven, add garlic cloves, thyme, red pepper flakes and oregano.
  2. Pour olive oil over mixture until garlic is just covered. Set pot over very low heat for 30 to 45 minutes, making sure oil never gets past a low simmer.
  3. Adjust heat as needed to make sure oil doesn't burn. Cook until garlic is just starting to brown and is very soft when pressed against side of pot.
  4. Remove from heat once garlic is soft and allow to cool completely. Remove thyme stems and discard.
  5. Pour cool mixture into blender and puree until smooth. Season to taste.
  6. Refrigerate until ready to use. Spread on crusty bread or use in a salad dressing or as a sauce on top of beef, chicken or pasta.
  7. Chef Note: If desired, leave soft garlic mixture whole for a better texture instead of pureeing it.
