Pungent aromatic power with a silky texture: the foundation of Peruvian seasoning. This kitchen ally saves time without sacrificing freshness, bringing that unmistakable garlic aroma to everyday cooking. Direct, clean, and ready to transform any sofrito or stew.
Peel the garlic and remove any green shoot from the center if you see one. That shoot can make the paste bitter, so it is better to take it out before blending.
Put the garlic in the blender with the vegetable oil, water, and salt. Blend for 45 seconds, pausing to scrape down the sides, until it forms a smooth, thick paste.
Check the texture: it should fall slowly from the spoon, not run. If the blender gets stuck, add just a tiny splash of water and blend for 10 more seconds.
Transfer the paste to a clean jar and refrigerate it right away. Use it within 4 days or freeze it in small portions; for safety, do not store it at room temperature.
Turn what you find into an experience you can actually bring to your kitchen.
