So easy! So delicious! Sure to impress! People will think you worked really hard on this… (well, peeling garlic isn’t a breeze.) its sooooo yummy! My husband described this as “fire” and all I added was olive oil, garlic, and Italian spices. Also, I made a small batch- one layer of garlic and enough EVOO to cover everything. That’s it! Easy peazy, garlic confity!
