How To Make Garlic Paste
Learn how to make your own garlic paste at home from scratch in simple steps. My cooking mantra has always been if in doubt add garlic, paprika and a pinch of salt. Trust me it works all the time, this cooking condiment will never let you down especially when it is used fresh in dishes.
Servings: 1 jar
Ingredients
- 4 garlic bulbs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt to taste this is optional
Instructions
- Peel the garlic if you haven’t already. Press the garlic bulb with the back of your palm to break it up, then remove the outer paper. Use your fingers to separate the cloves and peel the paper off it
- Add the garlic cloves to a blender/food processor, add a little oil and process until puree or paste-like. You can also process it minced if that is how you like it. The whole process should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute depending on the quantity you are making.
- Season the garlic puree with salt (this is optional by the way especially if you would be storing this in the freezer)
- Spoon the puree in a cleaned jar and store in the fridge for up to a week. (Do not store longer than this in the fridge to avoid botulism poisoning)
