Garlic Paste

I love the smell of garlic. Not the smell from someone mouth (eww) or from their body (double eww). I just love the smell of garlic when cooking, I know, I am so weird but really, it makes me smile, it makes me happy.

This recipe is all about having a already made condiment that is easy to access when needed. It requires no cooking (no need to stress about that), all you need are 3 ingredients and your garlic paste is ready.

This paste can be used in several meals where garlic is called. From seasoning meat, fish, veggies, for sauce, soups, etc. this garlic paste will work great.

You should try it.
