Confit Garlic - a magical multi-use potion

About this episode

Simon has taken the news that Yumi started introducing a tiny bit of her digestive nemesis - GARLIC - into her diet, and he's run with it.


Inspired by the recipe from Gizzi Erskine's seminal cookbook, SLOW, Simon has a way to do garlic that is pretty magical and also, supremely easy.


Tumble 4-5 whole bulbs of garlic with the tops sliced off into a tiny saucepan.

Cover it with good quality olive oil.

Add herbs like rosemary, thyme to the oil IF YOU WANT.

Gently and slowly cook until bubbles are forming around the bulbs - for 20-30 mins. Strictly DO NOT BOIL.

Remove the garlic cloves. They are available to be used as a condiment, smooshed onto toast, blended through a salad dressing or part of a bean gratin.

The oil, once cooled, can be used to flavour anything at all ...with fewer digestive complaints!


And NO, Simon did *not* provide the show notes he said he would. However, we will do a whole episode on the Bean Gratin he mentions. Next! On your 5 Minute Food Fix. xxx
