Garlic is great. But crispy, light golden brown fried garlic is sensational. It’s a textural thing, that’s sweeter than regular garlic and just makes everything better.
2 heads garlic
1 cup neutral oil
Kosher salt
That’s it
Bust open the heads of garlic, and peel each clove
Chop all the garlic into small pieces, and by small I mean like 1/16th of an inch pieces. But whatever size you chop to - try to make them approximately the same size, so they cook at the same time
Heat the oil in a small pot to 275 degrees, and add the garlic
Cook, stirring often until just becoming light brown then (because the oil is crazy hot) pour though a strainer into a bowl that won’t melt (like metal or ceramic)
Once strained, put the garlic onto paper towels to dry, and sprinkle lightly with salt
Save the oil (once cooled) in a sealed container in the fridge - it’ll keep 2 weeks and you can use it for so many things
Put the garlic into a sealed container into the fridge as well
Use on everything
