Garlic Infused Olive Oil

Garlic confit is delicious but try this infused garlic oil! It is even quicker to prepare and adds a hit of flavor to a variety of dishes. Drizzle it on on roast chicken. Marinate lettuce for a side salad. Or do what I did and substitute it for olive oil in a focaccia bread recipe. My guests were totally pleased by the results.
