Garlic Purée
160 g garlic
Heavy Cream, as needed
Salt, as needed
Instructions:
● Peel garlic cloves and make sure to remove any bottoms from garlic.
● Add garlic to a stainless steel pot and cover the garlic with 1 inch in cold water.
● Over medium heat, bring garlic to a simmer. Once at a simmer, remove garlic and discard hot water, start fresh again with cold water. Complete this step seven times.
● Repeat this step one last time, using heavy cream until the cloves are just covered. Add salt to taste and slowly bring to a simmer. Allow to steep 15 minutes until fully tender but not falling apart. Do not scorch or brown.
● Strain, but save, the cream from the garlic. Add garlic to vitamix and add just enough cream to get the garlic to puree freely without agitation (no ladle, tool, etc). It will take a lot less cream than you anticipate, remember, you can always add but not take away. Puree until smooth, check seasoning before serving.
