Follow The Directions
01
Step
Combine the chopped garlic and ginger in the bowl of a food processor. (2 minutes)
02
Step
Pulse the mixture until it begins to break down, adding small amounts of olive oil as needed to help the ingredients blend smoothly. (3-5 minutes)
03
Step
Continue to process until a smooth, even paste forms. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure everything is incorporated. (2-3 minutes)
04
Step
Transfer the finished ginger garlic paste to an airtight container. (1 minute)
05
Step
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage (up to 3 months).
For a smoother paste, peel the ginger before chopping. A vegetable peeler works well for this.
If you prefer a milder flavor, use slightly less ginger than garlic.
When freezing, consider portioning the paste into small, usable amounts (e.g., ice cube trays) for easy access.
If you don't have olive oil, other neutral oils like canola or vegetable oil can be substituted.
To avoid discoloration, ensure your storage container is completely airtight.
