By Vitia

Garlic is one of the most versatile and essential ingredients in the kitchen. Not only does it bring a distinctive flavor to dishes, but it also offers numerous health benefits.

Making a homemade garlic seasoning is a great way to always have a delicious mixture on hand that can enhance any meal.

Here’s a simple recipe for you to make at home, along with some additional tips to maximize its use and preservation.

Ingredients

  • 4 Heads of garlic
  • 1 Glass Jar
  • c/n of olive oil

Preparation, step by step

Step 1: Garlic Preparation

  1. Separate the garlic cloves: Take the 4 heads of garlic and separate the cloves. Make sure they are as fresh as possible so that the pasta lasts longer.
  2. Peel the garlic cloves: Remove the peel from each garlic clove. Check that there are no brown or dried garlic, as these do not provide good flavor or aroma.

Step 2: Preservation Methods

There are several ways to preserve garlic depending on how long you want to keep it fresh.

Storage for 3 months:

  1. Place the peeled garlic in a glass jar.
  2. Add corn oil: Fill the jar with corn oil, making sure to cover all the garlic. This method keeps garlic fresh for three months in the refrigerator.

Storage for 6 months:

  1. Cut the garlic into small pieces: Make sure the pieces are as small as possible.
  2. Use an ice tray: Place the garlic pieces on an ice tray and coat them with corn oil. Then, freeze the tray. Whenever you need garlic, simply take out a cube. This method preserves garlic for six months.

Conservation for one year:

  1. Blend the garlic with olive oil: Place the peeled garlic in a blender and add a cup of olive oil. Blend until you get a thick paste.
  2. Store in a glass jar: Place the paste in a clean glass jar. This method keeps garlic in the refrigerator for up to a year.

Benefits of Garlic Paste:

  • Time saving: Having the garlic paste ready avoids having to chop garlic every time you cook.
  • Long lasting: Depending on the storage method, you can keep garlic fresh for up to a year.
  • Versatility: Garlic paste is ideal for a variety of dishes, from stews to sauces.

Preparing garlic paste is a great way to preserve this essential ingredient in the kitchen. With only 4 heads of garlic, a glass jar and olive oil, you can have a paste that will last you a long time, making your daily culinary preparations easier.
