Instructions

- Press the garlic.
- Squeeze the juice out of the lemons. For a fresher taste you can use the zest as well.
- Add everything to the blender, together with the coconut aminos, and mix. If it's not working add just a little bit if fluid. This can be extra lime juice or a few drops of water.

Notes
- The paste can be kept in the fridge foor 2 maybe 3 days. Freeze the rest into icecubes. One icecube equals a generous tablespoon. I use about 4 icecubes for 2 servings (or 1 large): just let it melt into your sauce.
