Tomatoes in Garlic Confit

Prep: 30 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

This is a pantry staple worth having on hand. Make ahead and store refrigerated. Enjoy this on anything from bread service, to homemade pizza. Consider using it in a hamburger mix or adding to stirfried vegetables. The addition of tomatoes to the tried and true method of confited garlic results in a condiment that is almost a meal on its own. The acidity of the tomatoes cuts the richness of the aromatic oil and together they become greater than the sum of their parts. 


INGREDIENTS

6 heads of  garlic , peeled, cloves kept whole

2 1/2  cups Olive oil

2 teaspoon Kosher salt

16 Sprigs of thyme

2 tsp whole peppercorns

1 pint of cherry tomatoes

 

DIRECTIONS

Combine all of the ingredients except the tomatoes in a 1-2qt saucepot and transfer to a 225F oven for 1-3 hours, checking occasionally. You want to see the garlic start to color but not burn. Bubbles should rise slowly throughout the process. When the garlic has evenly darkened and the aromas emerging from the oven have deepened it is ready. Add the tomatoes and continue the process for 20 more minutes before removing the confit from the oven and allowing it to cool on the counter. Serve warm or transfer it to a glass jar or pyrex food storage container.
