Preparation of Garlic Marinated in Olive Oil:
-
Prepare the garlic : Start by peeling the garlic cloves. You can do this with a knife or by lightly crushing the cloves with the side of a knife so the skin comes off easily. Once peeled, slice the garlic cloves thinly, or, if you prefer a more intense flavor, leave them whole.
-
Prepare the olive oil : In a suitable container, combine the extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar or white vinegar. The vinegar not only adds a touch of acidity that balances the oil, but also helps preserve the garlic in better condition for longer.
