Blanched Garlic Paste

Place the garlic in a small saucepan filled with cold water and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 30 seconds, then drain and return to the same pan and cover with cold water again. Bring to a simmer and drain again. Return the drained cloves to the pan and add the olive oil. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
Puree the mixture in a blender for 2 minutes, or until the mixture is very smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as necessary. Add the salt at the end of blending.
