Spicy Confit Chiles

Directions

1. 1.

   Bring chiles, garlic, oil, and 1 tsp. salt to a gentle simmer (oil should be barely bubbling) in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat immediately to maintain gentle simmer and cook until chiles and garlic are tender, 1–1 1/2 hours. Let cool.

2. 2.

   Confit chiles can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and chill, or freeze up to 3 months.
