Separate garlic cloves and peel them. Shaking the cloves vigorously in a closed jar helps loosen the skin and makes peeling much easier.

Process in a small food chopper until the garlic is the desired consistency.

Add lemon juice and salt to the minced garlic and gently mix with a spoon.

Fill an appropriately sized jar with the garlic mixture. 

Fill with olive oil until it just covers the minced garlic.
