Marinated Garlic

Be the first to rate this recipe

Ingredients

  • 30 garlic cloves, peeled*
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup champagne vinegar
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 sprigs fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Blanch the whole cloves of garlic in boiling water for 5 minutes; remove, and plunge into cold water. Drain and dry off the garlic.
  2. Mix the remaining ingredients (except the fresh oregano sprigs) in a blender until emulsified. If using dried oregano toss it in with the oil and vinegar.
  3. Put the cloves in a jar and cover with the marinade, tuck the sprigs of oregano into the jar. Cover and allow it to marinate for at least 5 days in the refrigerator. Serve as is for a snack or side dish or add to a green salad.
  4. Don't be surprised if a couple of people polish off the whole batch in one sitting! I had tried several other marinated garlic recipes before this one and was not happy with the results. This one is perfect!
  5. *NOTE: You can double the garlic cloves and will still have enough dressing to cover. The marinade makes a fantastic salad dressing after you use up the garlic.
