   Step 1: Pulse the onion (1 medium), peeled garlic (1 cup) and olive oil (1/2 cup) in a blender or food processor to a chunky paste. Transfer to a clean covered jar and refrigerate immediately at 40°F (4°C) or below; use within 4 days. For longer storage, freeze in approximately 1-tablespoon portions in a silicone ice tray, then transfer the frozen portions to a freezer bag and keep frozen for up to 3 months. Add frozen portions directly to the cooking pan as needed.
