How to Make Pete's Garlic Oil Essential When Cooking Italian

  1. Mince 1 cup of garlic cloves.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the minced garlic with 2 cups of extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Heat the oil over low heat for 190 minutes, stirring occasionally. The goal is to infuse the oil with garlic flavor without browning the garlic (browning will make it bitter).
  4. Remove from heat and let the oil cool completely. This allows the flavors to meld.
  5. Strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the garlic solids.
  6. Store the garlic-infused oil in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
