Ingredients

  • 30-40 Garlic cloves peeled
  • 2 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instruction

  • Peel about 30-40 cloves of garlic, making sure to keep the cloves whole as much as possible.
  • Measure 1 ¼ - 2 cups extra virgin olive oil.
  • Add all of the garlic cloves and olive oil to the Instant Pot.
  • Set the Pot to the 'slow cook' function on the lowest setting.
  • Cover with a regular lid, not the Instant Pot lid.
  • Slow cook for about 1 hour and 30-40 minutes, or until garlic is soft and can be easily pierced with a fork.
  • To a small or medium sized pot, add all of the garlic cloves and the olive oil.
  • Next, turn the stove on to low heat.
  • Cook on low for about 1 hour, or until garlic is soft and can be easily pierced with a fork.
  • Add all of the garlic cloves and olive oil to a small casserole dish or other oven-safe vessel.
  • Heat the oven to 200ºF.
  • Cook for about 2 hours, or until garlic is soft and can be easily pierced with a fork.
  • Once the garlic is soft, remove it from its heat source.
  • Either add the garlic and the oil to a glass jar and refrigerate or strain out the oil. If you strain the oil, I recommend keeping the oil in a glass container and using it as a cooking oil.
  • I also recommend blending the cloves (without the oil) in the food processor and keeping the garlic paste so it is easier to use.
