Ingredients
3
heads
garlic
{~10-15 cloves per head}
3
tsp
avocado oil
{or other neutral oil}
Instructions
Break apart the heads of garlic by pressing down on it with the palm of your hands.
3 heads garlic
Cut off the root end from each clove, and then remove the papery skin from the cloves.
Add the cloves to a food processor or blender and process/blend.
With the machine running, slowly drizzle in oil or water, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed.
3 tsp avocado oil
Blend/process until the paste is smooth.
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for 12 months.
Notes
Select large/plump heads of garlic with dry, papery skin.
1 tsp of paste = 1-2 cloves of fresh garlic.
1 tbsp of paste = 3-6 cloves of fresh garlic.
Salt can be added if desired.
Transfer any paste from the fridge to the freezer after 4 days. The danger of botulism is high with fresh garlic after that time.
