Ingredients
- 1.1 root ginger
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Peel and chop the root ginger.
- Place the chopped ginger in the bowl of the food processor or food chopper. Blend the ginger until it turns into a smooth paste. You may have to pause and skim the sides of the bowl before blending again to ensure everything is processed smoothly.
- Once you are happy with the texture of your ginger paste, transfer it into a clean, sterilized jar.
- Pour the oil into the jar and let it cover the ginger paste's surface. Put the lid on and store the jar in the refrigerator. It keeps well for 2 weeks.
- If you want to freeze the paste, add ¼ cup (60 milliliters) of water when you blend the ginger. Then, line the ice cube mold with a cling film. Spoon the ginger paste into each cube square. Press gently to ensure the cube is fully filled with the paste. Put the mold in the freezer for 2-3 hours or until the ginger is fully frozen.
- Take the ginger cubes off the mold and place them in a freezer-friendly food bag. Try to arrange the cubes so that it will be easy for you to pick one cube when you need it.
Notes
- The oil acts as a natural preserve. You can use different types of oil.
- Sunflower or canola (rapeseed) oil can be good choices.
- If you freeze the paste, you don’t need to add the oil to the ginger before freezing.
