Mince 2 cups (350 grams) peeled raw garlic cloves them using a food processor or a knife.
Put the garlic in a bowl and add 1 cup (240mL) olive oil. Stir well.
Place the oil and garlic mixture in a silicone tray and level it out.
Place a lid on the tray and freeze for 24 hours or until completely frozen.
Remove frozen garlic from cube tray and vacuum seal, working quickly so they don't thaw. If vacuumed sealed the garlic will last for at least one year.

If you don't have a vacuum sealer, a ziplock bag with the air pushed out as much as possible will work in a pinch!
Use a garlic roller to peel your garlic easily and quickly.
The for the tray I use one cube of garlic is about 2 cloves worth in a recipe.
To use frozen garlic in a recipe that calls for sautéed garlic, place a frozen cube of garlic and oil on a skillet and cook on medium heat until toasted and fragrant.
