When I make garlic confit do I use the garlic or the oil?

Sorry if this is a stupid/obvious question but I'm making a recipe from my modernist cuisine cookbook and it'll call for 24 grams of pressure cooker garlic confit, which is garlic and olive oil with some herbs cooked in the pressure cooker for 2 hours.

I always thought it was the garlic that you were supposed to use until I was reading an article today for mashed potatoes on some different site that had a similar garlic slow cooked in olive oil use. However, it said to discard the "spent garlic" after you were finished.

So my question is if the modernist cuisine recipe says 24 grams.. Is it the oil, the garlic or 50/50?
