How to Tell It's Done
- until it covers the garlic completely
- until the garlic is completely soft and tender
Tips
- Below 100°C (210°F) and without boiling: that way the cloves soften and stay whole.
More Ways
- In the oven: garlic cloves and herbs in a small pot, olive oil to cover completely, 100°C (210°F) for an hour to an hour and a half, until the cloves fall apart when touched with a fork; cooking below 100°C (210°F) keeps them whole. Don't throw out the oil: fry with it and brush with it.
