Making homemade garlic paste is a much healthier and affordable solution— and SO much easier to do when you follow the simple tricks below! It only takes five minutes to blend a whole bulb in a food processor with oil until it forms a smooth paste.
Servings: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb. garlic about 40-50 cloves
- 1-2 Tbsp. oil olive or avocado
Instructions
- Remove the garlic cloves from the bulb, or head. (Tip: Place the bulb on a flat surface and apply pressure to the root end of the bulb with the palm of your hand to loosen up the cloves.)
- Cut the root end off of the clove. Peel and remove the papery skin.
- Add the peeled garlic cloves to a large food processor along with the oil. Blend for 30-60 seconds, scraping down the sides every 10-15 seconds, or until a smooth paste forms.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Or learn how to freeze garlic and store for up to 6 months.
