Smash the garlic cloves slightly but do not chop them.

In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat.

Add the smashed garlic and chopped onion to the skillet, sautéing until softened.

Add a pinch of salt and black peppercorns to the skillet.

Cook the onion and garlic mixture for about 5 minutes until fragrant.

In another skillet, add some black pepper and the bonito medallions, seasoning them lightly with salt.

Add thyme and a bay leaf to the skillet with the bonito.

Pour in half a cup of vinegar and bring to a simmer, cooking for about 10-15 minutes.

Once the bonito is cooked, remove it from heat and pour the hot oil mixture over the fish.

Let the bonito cool in the marinade overnight to absorb the flavors.

Store the bonito in a glass container in the refrigerator, ensuring to use clean utensils when serving.
