What it is
This is a convenient pre-prepared paste made from crushed garlic cloves. It is designed to offer the strong, pungent flavor of fresh garlic without the need for peeling and mincing. The paste is typically preserved to maintain its quality and ease of use in various culinary applications. It provides a consistent garlic taste that can be easily measured and incorporated into dishes.
How people cook with it
Garlic paste is a versatile ingredient that can be added to a wide range of savory dishes. It simplifies the process of infusing meals with garlic's distinctive aroma and flavor.
- Stir-fries

To use, simply measure the desired amount of garlic paste with a spoon and add it directly to your cooking. It can be sautéed with other aromatics like onions and ginger at the beginning of a dish, mixed into sauces and dressings, or stirred into simmering soups and stews. The paste disperses easily, ensuring an even distribution of garlic flavor throughout the food. It is a quick way to add depth to everyday meals.
