How to use
My favourite way to use the Leftover Garlic, Onion & Herb Paste is in the base of a risotto, but it can also start pasta sauces, soups or stews, or any dishes that include onion, garlic and Mediterranean herbs.
Food Processor
You can use your food processor or blender for this, but I love the Bosch ErgoMixx food processor attachment, the perfect size for pastes like this.
Storage
Cover with a layer of oil and keep airtight in the fridge for up to two weeks.
serves 10
Ingredients
-
1 onion
-
1 garlic bulb
-
2 celery sticks
-
50g Leftover herbs (parsley, basil, thyme)
Method
Peel the onion and garlic cloves, then chop the onion and celery into rough chunks. For woodier herbs like thyme and rosemary, pick the leaves. For softer herbs, just chop them roughly. Add all of it to the bowl of a small food processor (I used my Bosch ErgoMixx) along with 1 tsp salt and 4 tbsp olive oil and blend into a paste. Transfer the paste to a jar and top up with a layer of olive oil to preserve it for longer. Then keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, making sure to always have it covered with oil.
