Any awesome garlic paste recipes out there?

Question

im a huuuuuuuge fan of garlic paste so i wanted 2 know if anyone had any great recipes theyd be willing 2 share.

thnks!!

Answer 1

6-8 cloves garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt

virgin olive oil

Slice the garlic.

Add salt.

Begin to crush until salt has dissolved.

Now add 1/2 tps of Virgin Olive Oil and stir in until it disappears.

Once the garlic has absorbed the oil add another 1/2 tps and repeat.

If you keep doing this 3 cloves of garlic will then become a whole bowl of garlic paste.

Answer 2

ROASTED GARLIC PASTE

Ingredients:

  

4 dozen peeled garlic cloves

Drizzle of olive oil

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, toss the garlic with some of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place the garlic on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely. In a mini-food processor, fitted with a metal blade, puree the garlic until smooth. Drizzle in enough olive oil to make the mixture spreadable. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. The paste will keep for up to 1 week.

Emeril Lagasse, of course!
