Al'S Fabulous " Marinated Garlic " - cooking recipe

Ingredients

30 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup white wine vinegar (if you can find it, champagne vinegar is wonderful)
salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste (I like to use Kosher salt)
4 sprigs fresh oregano (or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano)

Preparation

Bring a medium saucepan half-filled with water to a boil. Toss in the whole cloves of garlic and blanch for 5 minutes. Remove the garlic and plunge into cold water. Drain and dry off the garlic.
Mix the remaining ingredients (except the sprigs of fresh oregano) in a blender until emulsified. If using dried oregano, toss into the blender with the other marinade ingredients.
Put the cloves of garlic in a jar and cover with the marinade. Tuck the sprigs of oregano into the jar. Cover and allow to marinate for at least 5 days (longer is better) in the refrigerator.
Serve as a snack, or as part of an antipasto, or as a side dish, or add to a green salad.
