Ingredients

  • 3 oz ginger about 8 inches
  • 3 oz garlic about 2 heads
  • 1 Tbs olive oil any cooking oil will work
  • 1 teaspoon salt kosher

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel the ginger and the garlic.
  2. Add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse until the garlic and ginger are finely minced. If the paste looks too dry or is balling up in the processor, add a little more oil.
  3. Place into a sealable container and keep refrigerated for use in any dish that you might use minced garlic.

Notes

  • You’ll want equal amounts of garlic and ginger. To achieve this, you could weigh them or just “eyeball it” which is what I do.
  • After you have made this a number of times, you’ll find that sometimes ginger is more wet than others, just adjust your olive oil amount to make it as loose as you like.
  • This recipe calls for kosher salt which has a larger grain than table salt. If you are using table salt, reduce the amount by at least ½.
  • No food processor? Use a blender or other type of food chopper. If you have neither of these, use a microplane or the finest side of a box grater.
  • Try this paste for any recipe where you would use minced garlic. The ginger gives a real fresh boost to the flavor of just plain garlic alone.
