How to Make Ginger Garlic Paste

  1. Peel and roughly chop 1 cup of ginger and 1/2 cup of garlic cloves.
  2. In a food processor, combine the chopped ginger, garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and an optional pinch of turmeric (about 1/4 teaspoon).
  3. Process until a coarse paste forms. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil until a completely smooth paste is achieved. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Transfer the paste to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
