  • Yield Makes about 2 cups

Ingredients

    • 1 cup canola oil
    • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    • 3 cups garlic cloves
    • 1 fresh bay leaf or 2 dried bay leaves
    • 8 to 10 sprigs fresh thyme
    • Coarse salt
    • Whole black peppercorns

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix together canola and olive oil; set aside.
  2. Place garlic cloves in an ovenproof heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch-oven with a lid. Add bay leaf, a scant tablespoon salt, and peppercorns. Add enough of the oil mixture to barely cover.
  3. Cover pan and transfer to oven. Cook until garlic is pale golden and very tender, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.
  4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic cloves to a cutting board or the bowl of a small food processor, reserving oil; finely chop or process until pureed. Transfer to a bowl and add just enough reserved oil to cover. Keep refrigerated, up to 3 days.
