Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Confit

    In a medium saucepan, combine the garlic cloves and olive oil. Heat over low heat until the garlic is soft and lightly golden, about 30-40 minutes. Do not let the oil boil.

  2. 2

    Make the Soy Reduction

    In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 10-15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tomato and Basil

    In a bowl, mix the chopped tomatoes with the fresh basil leaves. Drizzle with some of the confit garlic oil for extra flavor.

  4. 4

    Serve

    To serve, place a spoonful of the tomato and basil mixture on a plate, drizzle with the soy reduction and top with a few cloves of the confit garlic. Enjoy!
