Ingredients
 

  • 2 yellow onions, cut in half
  • 20 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2-3 cups olive oil, enough to cover the onions and garlic

Equipment

  • 1 medium pot

Instructions
 

  • Peel and cut the onion and garlic.
  • Place the onion halves and peeled garlic cloves into a medium pot.
  • Onion halves and peeled garlic are submerged in high quality olive oil and slowly cooked until golden for onion and garlic confit.
    Cover by a 1/2 inch with olive oil, likely 2-3 cups.
  • Place the pot on the stove and turn on the heat to medium. Once the olive has heated up, reduce to the heat to the lowest setting and cook for 4 hours. Manage the heat so that the onions and garlic do not overcook.
