Hi, Marilyn, Garlic paste is found in the gourmet sections of supermarkets. The advantage of the commercial products is their being prepared for long shelf life. Below is a homemade version which sounds delicious to me, but it's not TNT:
GARLIC THYME PASTE 1/2 c. peeled garlic 1/2 c. olive oil 2 tbsp. fresh or dried thyme 1/4 c. walnuts 2 tbsp. fresh grated parmesan cheese 3/4 c. spinach leaves 1/4 tsp. salt or to taste Freshly ground pepper Simmer whole peeled garlic cloves in olive oil in small saucepan at lowest heat possible for 20 minutes. Do not brown. Cool garlic in oil. Combine all ingredients in blender. Add spinach leaves. Blend to desired consistency. Taste for salt and pepper. Adjust if necessary. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. HTH!
