4 heads of garlic, cloves separated and peeled
2 bay leaves
8-10 thyme sprigs

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a high smoke point and is healthier, while canola oil is more budget-friendly.

1

Place all the garlic cloves in a small to medium pan.

2

Add the aromatics and cover with oil. The garlic cloves need to be completely submerged, so the oil quantity is really a guide.

3

Cook on the hob on a very low flame for about 30-40 minutes until the garlic cloves are lightly golden, soft and fragrant.

4

Transfer cloves and oil to a clean jar and refrigerate once cooled.
