Blending: Add the peeled garlic and oil to a blender or food processor. Blend to a smooth paste. Scrape down as needed in between.
Storing

To store for longer, freeze in ice-cube trays or resealable plastic bags for 3-4 months. You can fill the bag and flatten it. It will help in easier storage and you can break off the needed amount. You can pop the freezed garlic paste from the ice-cube trays, to store in a plastic bag to save space too.
