Confited Ingredients

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the mixed greens thoroughly under cold water. Spin dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Cut the Vegetables

    Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red onion.

  3. 3

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the olive oil over the salad and sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

Confiting Garlic

  1. 5

    Prepare the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole. Set aside.

  2. 6

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a small saucepan, heat the 1 cup of olive oil over low heat until it is warm but not boiling.

  3. 7

    Add Garlic and Herbs

    Add the whole garlic cloves and the fresh herb sprigs to the warm olive oil. Let them confit for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is soft and lightly golden.

  4. 8

    Cool and Store

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Allow the garlic and oil to cool before transferring to a clean jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
