How to Freeze Garlic in Olive Oil
Freezing chopped garlic in oil in ice trays prolongs garlic’s life and prevents waste! This is a great method to save even your sprouting garlic.
Equipment
- Ice tray – these come with different size compartments, but it really doesn’t matter
Ingredients
- 1 or more whole head of garlic, peeled See video to learn how to quickly peel garlic
- 200 ml or more olive oil depending how much garlic you use
Instructions
- Place peeled garlic cloves in a food processor and process them to a rice grain size or slightly smaller consistency.
- Using a teaspoon, place 1-2 teaspoons of the chopped garlic in each compartment. 1 teaspoon equals 1 medium to large size, chopped garlic clove.
- Push the garlic onto the bottom of each compartment as much as possible and pour some olive oil, just enough to submerge the garlic in it. When done, don’t worry about the bits of garlic that stuck onto the tray between the compartment, you can tidy it all up after the garlic in oil has frozen – it is much easier this way.
- Place the tray in a freezer and freeze the content (1-2h). When done, you can tidy the frozen garlic bits that are not frozen in oil with a piece of kitchen paper if you like.
