Lazy? Me? You betcha - Lazy Garlic....

I am all for expedience. I like (some) things to be quick and simple. I use a lot of garlic and I find it tedious to peel and chop or crush garlic everytime I need it.

So every few weeks I make some lazy garlic.

Also Lidl sell these little baskets of extra large single garlic cloves which I like to use, although you can use ordinary sized cloves.

I use 4-6 of these Lidl dinosaur garlic so 2-3 bulbs of ordinary garlic would work.

Peel the garlic and roughly chop.

Put into a small blender with half to 3/4 of a teaspoon of sea salt.

In a blender, small food processor or even use a hand blender, add the garlic and oil to the container. You can use olive oil but I use organic sunflower oil as it has no flavour so you only taste the garlic. Cover the garlic.

Blitz up until it almost turns white and is completely blended. If the blender is small add more oil to the container that you are storing it in and shake to infuse the added oil. Place the container in the fridge. It will separate a little but the oil at the top is useful as garlic flavoured oil or dig down for the garlic purée or shake before use.

Lasts a few weeks in the fridge.
