Garlic-Ginger Paste

Makes about 1/3 cup

This is a simple, handy seasoning for a variety of Eastern dishes. Double or triple the recipe and measure tablespoonfuls into little zip-lock bags or an ice cube holder for easy "grab and go" use.

1 head garlic, peeled
1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
touch or water
touch of lemon juice (to keep from oxidizing)

Blend the garlic and ginger in a food processor or blender until pureed, adding a little water to help it blend. Squeeze in the lemon juice. Store in the refrigerator for several days, or freeze for several months.
