I few months ago I bought a kilo of pre-peeled garlic, chopped off the ends, and put it in the food processor. Then froze it in a ziploc bag with indentations to make it easy to break off. Each square is about 2 cloves worth. Did the same with a heap of ginger. This has been absolutely gamechanging.
