garlic paste

Mashed pungent bulb

Garlic paste is garlic cloves crushed or blended into a smooth, spreadable consistency.

It offers the flavor of fresh garlic without the prep work of mincing: Add a teaspoon of garlic paste to the sauce.

Available jarred or made at home, it's a kitchen shortcut common in South Asian and Mediterranean cooking.
