Preparation
- Step 1
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the oil. Add 12 garlic cloves (they should be just covered by the oil) and cook gently until very soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour; cool. Reserve oil.
- Step 2
Mince remaining garlic cloves and put them in a small bowl. Add the capers, lemon juice, lemon zest, fine sea salt and pepper. Whisk in 6 tablespoons garlic cooking oil.
- Step 3
Heat the broiler. Spread the bread on a baking sheet; brush surfaces with remaining garlic oil. Broil until crisp and golden, 1 to 2 minutes a side.
- Step 4
Toss the greens with the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Divide among six serving plates. Smash one confited garlic clove on top of each toast; sprinkle with coarse salt. Arrange two toasts on each salad plate.

Looking for NYT Cooking instructions to confit garlic & came upon this recipe. (And Marian Burros confit instructions too.) Delicous and made mostly as written but: *used big bunch of arugula not dandelion, *upped lemon juice by a good bit for personal preference, *reduced 1/4 tsp salt to big pinch which worked given capers add salt. Flake salt to finish is key. If extra garlic and oil left put them in a sealable glass container in the fridge. Should hold 2 weeks'ish for lots of uses.
Very good but even on low the garlic was very well done after 35 minutes. I might try cooking it slowly in the oven next time.
