To make garlic paste, start by mincing 7 ounces of garlic cloves in a food processor or blender until finely minced. Then, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and mix everything together thoroughly until the mixture forms a paste.

Next, transfer the garlic paste into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. If you want to freeze your garlic paste for even longer storage, you can freeze it in an ice cube tray. Each cube can be roughly 1 teaspoon of the paste, making it easy to portion out for future use.
