Zubereitung von Ail Ou Echalotes Confits Garlic Or Shallot Confit
- Peel 1 whole head of garlic (about 10-12 cloves) and remove any green sprouts. If using shallots or pearl onions, trim and peel 1 cup (about 10-12 medium shallots or pearl onions).
- Heat 1 cup of duck fat (or olive oil/lard) in a small saucepan over medium heat. (Note: Duck fat is traditional and adds incredible flavor, but olive oil or lard are excellent substitutes.)
- Once the fat is warm (around 175°F/80°C), gently add the garlic, shallots or pearl onions, 1 tsp of Quatre Épices, and 1/4 tsp of freshly ground black pepper.
- Cook gently, stirring occasionally. Cook garlic for approximately 20 minutes, or shallots/pearl onions for 30 minutes, until completely tender and soft.
- Carefully remove the confit from the fat using a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
- Let cool completely before storing. If not using immediately, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. (Do not store submerged in fat.)
- Enjoy your delicious homemade Ail Ou Échalotes Confit! Use it as a garnish for roasted meats, salads, or as a flavor booster in sauces and soups. Serves 6 as a garnish.
