Marinated garlic

Now my garlic is over 1 month old.... It’s perfect! Because of the olive oil it become delicate and it’s a great addition to many dishes, hmmm…not cooked ones J It’s perfect when cold and row as than its aroma is not too strong… and the oil with a garlic flavour….

Ingredients
8 large whole garlic
1 l olive oil
bunch thyme
lemon zest of 1 lemon
1 tbsp colour pepper


Method
Divide the garlic into cloves, when it’s young you can leave the shells. To ‘baked’ in an oven jars put spices and garlic cloves, pour in olive oil. Seal the jars. Place the kitchen towel inside a big pot, put the jars on the kitchen towel and pour in water up to ¾ jar height. Pasteurize, but don’t bring to boil, for about 20 min.

Attention: you can’t add salt to the marinate as it will change the garlic colour into violet!
