Ingredients
4bulbs of garlic
15gfresh thyme
300mlolive oil
sea salt
Instructions
Seperate the garlic cloves from the blubs and peel each one.
Place the garlic cloves, thyme, olive oil and a good pinch of salt in a saucepan, making sure the garlic is completely covered by the oil (you may need more oil if your pan is particularly big).
Bring the pan to a very light simmer over a medium heat, then immediately turn the heat to low. Cook for 40-45 minutes, checking and stirring the garlic regularly, until the cloves are soft but still holding their shape.
Scoop the cloves and a few sprigs of thyme out of the pan and transfer to a sterilised jar. Pour the olive oil overtop, then allow to cool completely. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
