Garlic-Infused Olive Oil

Garlic-infused olive oil is an excellent alternative for those who love the flavor of garlic but can’t tolerate straight garlic due to the fructans. Because fructans are water-soluble, they do not travel into the oil, giving you all the flavor with none of the upset.

4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 head garlic, separated into cloves, skins peeled + woody ends cut off

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour 1/3 of the the olive oil into a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat and toast garlic for 5 minutes until edges are a tiny bit golden. If it is browning too fast turn down heat. Add rest of oil and heat until edges of garlic are bubbling. Reduce to low and cook for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and strain through fine sieve. Make sure no garlic bits or skins are left (can make oil go rancid quickly) and pour into clean jar and store in fridge.
