Roasty smashable Garlic Confit slow-baked in anise-like fennel seeds, chilli flakes, woody rosemary and earthy bay leaves.
Solid bliss when you kiss something sweet and luscious. And, indulge.
This dish tumbles the belief that vegan food can’t be simple to put together.
Make this:
- When you’ve stretched out of bed with a good night’s sleep and need a little Garlic Confit to go with your morning toast
- When you’re up in the morn, and a dish to wake you up start your day with the bang, is just what’s needed
- When your bestie has a sleepover from a heavy night and dish that’ll bring some zine
Garlic Confit was inspired when indulging in a little brekkie snack with an ex-beau when in Ravello on the Amalfi Coast. Sweet luscious Garlic Confit served on a slice of crunchy toast overlooking the coastline on our sumptuous balcony.
Confit is slow-cooked ingredient in fat. It’s a traditional French cooking method. I love serving this with toast in the morning or as a snack when I am feeling peckish.
Garlic Confit is vegan and paleo.

Going strong since 2013.
