Step 1

Wash and then peel the ginger and garlic (if using). Chop the ginger into smaller pieces (about 1 - 2 cm, 0.5 - 1 inch).

Step 2

Place equal amounts of ginger and garlic in the blender. If you are keeping them separate, just blend them separately.

Step 3

Add a little water, as little as you can do with for easy blending.

Step 4

Blend to a smooth puree.

Step 5

Place minced ginger-garlic paste in a clean/sterile jar. (see notes)

Step 6

Keep refrigerated for 2 - 3 months. Always use a very clean spoon when taking the paste out of the jar.
