Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and sage leaves, then fry until slightly crispy and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Transfer fried garlic and sage along with all remaining ingredients to a food processor. Process until mixture is mostly smooth while still maintaining some texture. Mixture will start to stick to processor walls when ready.
Divide mixture into 16 equal portions and roll each into a log approximately 6 inches long.
Heat a little olive oil in a cast iron or non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook logs for 4 to 5 minutes on each side to get a rich, caramelized char.
