Notes
To Store:
Refrigerator - Store your garlic paste in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to two weeks. *To preserve for even longer, add a thin layer of olive oil over the top of your container before sealing.
Freezer - This is the easiest way to store your fresh garlic paste! Freeze it for up to four months. We like to freeze it (in 1-2 teaspoon quantities) in an ice cube tray for easy use - simply pop out a cube and you're ready to go!
Notes:
One garlic clove equals approximately ½ teaspoon of garlic paste.
If you’re adding frozen garlic paste to a recipe, it can be directly added to your recipe without thawing!
