Ingredients
Method
- Thoroughly wash and clean the ginger under running water. Scrape ginger with the help of a small carving knife or scrape the ginger with the edge of a spoon to peel. Cut it into ½ inch pieces.
- Separate the garlic cloves from the bulb and peel the garlic. Peeling 4 to 5 garlic bulbs can be a pain. See the tips below for easy garlic peeling or purchase peeled garlic.
- Combine chopped ginger, peeled garlic, and salt in a good blender or a food processor. Add oil slowly while blending the ingredients. Scrape down the ingredients with a silicone spatula if needed.
- Blend it until smooth. Add more oil or water if needed for blending. Food processor results are slightly coarse compare to blender.
- Store the paste in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 weeks. Use as needed for recipes.
- Freeze about one tablespoon in an ice cube tray. Freeze the GG then transfer the frozen cubes in a freezer friendly bag.

Notes
Tips:
- Soak garlic cloves in warm water and cover the bowl. Let it stand for half-hour to an hour. This will make the peels swell and you can slide the cloves right off the peel between your fingers.
- You may use 2 tablespoons of water and 2 tablespoons of oil if you plan to use the GG paste within 2 weeks.
