Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 head of garlic
1 1/2 cups olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt
1 Seville or navel orange
1/4 cup sugar
1 pound young Manchego cheese, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme
Toasted baguette or other crusty bread (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Cut 1/4" off top of garlic bulb and place on a sheet of foil. Drizzle with oil; season with salt. Wrap tightly in foil and bake until skin is golden brown and cloves are tender, 35-40 minutes. Let cool. Squeeze cloves into a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, cut 1/4" off top and bottom of orange and cut lengthwise into quarters. Remove flesh from each quarter, not including white pith, from peel in 1 piece (save peels). Squeeze juice from flesh into a small bowl; set aside. Cut peel into 1/4" pieces and place in a small saucepan; pour in cold water to cover by 1". Bring to a boil then drain; repeat process twice more to remove bitterness. Return orange peels to saucepan and add sugar, reserved orange juice, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until peels are soft and liquid is syrupy, 20-30 minutes. Let orange preserve cool.
  • Add orange preserve, Manchego, rosemary, thyme, and remaining 1 1/2 cups oil to bowl with garlic and gently toss to combine. Cover and chill at least 12 hours.
  • Bring marinated Manchego to room temperature before serving with bread.
  • Do Ahead
  • Manchego can be marinated 5 days ahead. Cover and chill.

I love the combination of flavors in this recipe. The Manchego cheese is salty and savory, while the orange preserve is sweet and tangy. They balance each other out perfectly.
