- 1/2 cup cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup (1/2-inch slices) fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup olive oil, coconut oil, or fat of choice
Instructions
- Throw the garlic, ginger, and oil in a mini-food processor and let it go until it forms a semi-smooth paste.
- There will still be tiny little pieces in there, but overall, it should resemble a paste.
- Save what you don’t use in a small glass jar; it should last in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks.
It’s a delicious addition to marinades, pasta sauces, stir-fry sauces, slow-cooker recipes, gravy etc.
