GARLIC PUREE

Makes 1 cup

This is simply the smooth, spreadable version of garlic confit. Use it with abandon. Use twice as much as you think you should. Use it instead of mayonnaise on your favorite sandwich. Eat it straight off a spoon (but don’t double dip!), standing in front of the fridge.

1 cup Garlic Confit (here)

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic cloves only to the bowl of a food processor (a mini-processor is ideal) and process until smooth. Alternatively, mash the cloves with the side of a knife. Store as for Garlic Confit (see here).
