Looking for an easy way to add deep, rich garlic flavor to your meals? This garlic paste made in the Thermomix is a game-changer! Perfect for seasoning stews, marinades, dressings, or even spreading on bread, this versatile paste keeps well in the fridge, ready to enhance any dish. With just three simple ingredients and a few minutes of prep, you’ll have a powerful condiment on hand whenever you need it.
305 g peeled garlic cloves (fresh is best for the strongest flavor)
63 g salt (acts as a preservative and enhances taste)
153 g neutral oil (such as sunflower or light olive oil)
Blend the Garlic – Place the peeled garlic cloves in the Thermomix bowl. Blend at Speed 6 for 10 seconds.
Scrape Down the Sides – Use a spatula to push any stray pieces back toward the blades.
Blend Again – Process at Speed 8 for another 10 seconds until finely chopped.
Add the Oil – Pour in the oil and mix at progressive speed (4 to 8) for 1 minute until smooth.
Incorporate the Salt – Add the salt and blend at Speed 4 for 30 seconds to fully combine.
Store Properly – Transfer the paste to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep for 2-3 weeks.
1. Can I reduce the salt in this recipe?
Yes, but keep in mind that salt helps preserve the paste. If using less, store it for a shorter time (up to 1 week) or freeze portions for longer shelf life.
2. What dishes work best with this garlic paste?
It’s fantastic in soups, stir-fries, roasted meats, or even mixed into mayonnaise for a quick aioli. You can also rub it on bread before toasting!
3. Can I use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic?
Fresh garlic gives the best flavor and texture, but in a pinch, you could rehydrate garlic powder with a little water before blending. The result won’t be as smooth, though.
This garlic paste is a must-have for any home cook who loves bold flavors. Try it once, and you’ll wonder how you ever cooked without it!
