2. When the fat is warm, add the garlic or shallots, the quatre epices, and the ground pepper. Cook until they are soft, about 20 minutes for the garlic and 30 minutes for the shallots.
3. Remove them from the fat with a slotted spoon and cool on paper towels. If they are not used immediately, they can be refrigerated in a small container for several days. Do not cover them with fat.
